Nice Ole Starrett Stuff

[BBMark]

Buy it now on eBay was too tempting this week. Splurged on a No. 16 double protractor and two NOS 559 screwdrivers. I'm really pleased with the condition of all 3 pieces. I've only seen one other 16 for sale in the past. Thinking the protractor would show well with an 18 inch blade. Wondering if Starrett make a No. 94 blade in the 18 inch length?

If it uses standard Starrett 1" blades, then there are currently 4 versions in 18" length available. With the 1" ones, you could go all the way to 48" if you wanted.

Looks like it used the standard blades, back in the day.

I love those 559 drivers, and have a couple that I use all the time.

I do have a newer blade on it but was considering an older one closer to the age of the protractor head. Functionally my 18 inch satin chrome blade would work quite well though.
