A while ago I posted Starrett's first combination square...... here is another tool that is pretty rare..... it is the 5" protractor head.... while millions have been made in the 7" (wide across the bottom) the 5" was made for only a short time....... it was never illustrated in the catalogs, just listed and later only a very small mention at the bottom of the page..... these are marked with the patent date of Aug. 7 1883 and only take a special 9" rule.... the catalog page is from the 1884 catalog which was only 10 pages.... how things have changed....
