This is oldest dated tool that I have. The name in the middle in "Old English" script is "I Daddleston" with 1868 underneath it. The writing at bottom right is difficult to decipher but is an initial, then a name, then "Maker" and lastly what I assume is a place name. The reverse side is unmarked.
The ruler has been in the family for probably at least 70 years but Daddleston has no family connections.
The rule has the look of being hand made made by a skilled tool maker.
