A while back, like last spring or so...I picked a framing square for about a $1....little on the rusty side.. Flip it over... Nothing was bent...might be worth the effort to clean up? Took some 60 grit paper, and gave a spot a rub down by hand.. Might be ok....80 grit in the palm sander.. Getting rid of the worst of the rusty stuff...except down in the lettering...switch to 220 grit, one "pad" per leg, on each face.... We getting there...wipe each area once it is sanded...then a bead of 3in1 oil, and wipe that around with a rag.... Looking better? About 99.9% of the markings are readable....square should be about ready to go back to work? At one time, one could lay out every cut and build a house, using just a square like this....might be a lost art, now-a-days.....
