Old Craftsman rule

[Bamacruiser98]

I’m having trouble find any info on this craftsman rule. I got a Stanley no86 last week and was able to find a plethora of info on it but this one not so much. I figured you all might know

Craftsman didn’t “make” anything. It was made by others, maybe Stanley, maybe Lufkin, and stamped Craftsman. You may be able to turn it up in a Sears catalog, then search for a similar featured rule in other makers’ catalogs.

You can find a description of the various features in the 1930s and earlier catalogs at the International Tool Catalog Library.

Just change the name to Stanley, and start scrolling.

Pictured is what the Carpenter Co. was selling in 1917. A Stanley.
