Old craftsman aluminum folding ruler

[Mark914]

part of my estate sale finds today. I picked it up because I don’t usually see aluminum ones , brought it home and noticed it was a Craftsman. The logo and font makes me think it’s a oldie ??? Picked up an old industrial floating light , and some machine tools

Nice, very early Craftsman. First logo I believe. Looking through the Sears catalogs they were branded as Craftsman starting in Fall 1929 catalog and continued until fall of 1930. They were sold after that but without the Craftsman branding.

Very cool. It does have a sliding hook on one end.

Please consider posting on the "Long C" thread showing long "C" Craftsman logo and older tools.

Show your "Long C" Craftsman!

WrenchGuy and I were discussing this, and I know we have threads like this for the Heritage and Crown marked tools, which are mostly power tools and boxes, (the tools generally having =V= or -V- markings...) but we were unable to find one for the older "Long C" Craftsman tools. Backgrond...
