1954 double-throw, deadlocking latch bolt from Sargent of New Haven. All parts and paperwork seem to be intact in the box. However, the box has seen better days. It is still together and still closes but has dirt and creasing in various places.

Pickett Slide Rule

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

Collectible Slide Rules / Educational Collectables

This is an old slide rule from Pickett. It’s the
Pickett Microline 120. Looks to be in excellent
shape except that the clear plastic part that slides
across it has been taped. It still slides smoothly
and I think it may have just come apart and needed
to be taped at one point. Case is just a hard, black
slide in case. Not sure if it’s leather or not. Picture
available.

$20 plus shipping. Order Info
