I just picked this up. Seller advertised it with just the bevel rule, and I asked (and he found) the other 2. Double stamped 1879, and rule is numbered right to left which I find odd.

I have a couple of these Starrett rules, but mine are not stamped with an 1800s date. Great tool, and I use mine all the time; one stays with the lathe, and I have a backup. It would be fun to know when the tool first arrived...
 
Sooo.... where are the early catalogs for Starrett? Will look in the forum to see if one was posted...still learning to navigate the group and check out the files.

I am imaging the jeopardy theme song playing right now...
