I was at an auction last night and this boxwood ruler came up for bid. I didn't take a before picture, but it was so dirty and black it was hard to see the name. It appeared to be double stamped or something. I had decided it was an E.A. Sterns so I bid on it and got it for 10.00. After I got home I cleaned it up and could then see that it was a Stanley No. 68, but it is also stamped No. 680 E C Simmons "Redline". E C Simmons would have been a Keen Kutter ruler. Quite interesting if Stanley was making the Boxwood rulers for Keen Kutter. What is even stranger about this ruler is on the inside it is stamped No.10. This is not a Stanley No.10 as it was a mm marked ruler. So I think what I have is one that was missed stamped more than once and was probably not suppose to get out. After I cleaned it up it looks pretty good. I guess for now I will put it in the cabinet with the others.
