I can't ID the component, alas. (Thank you, encrapulated search engines <br>
:( ) I do recognize the ruler from the Chicago Etching Corporation, <br>
though. I got one at a trade show long ago. What are the odds?<br>
<br>
Unsurprisingly the company is long gone. Looks like a Nordstrom store <br>
occupies the site now.<br>
