I compared the General folding rule with my new Starrett one and it immediately became obvious that other than the branding the two rules are identical. My guess is that they were made to meet a government specification and only one manufacturer was actually producing them. The only question remaining is which manufacturer?

Re: Upper echelon items arrived today
At the beginning of this thread I posted some pictures of my rare date stamped upper echelon tire pressure gauge 8-G-650. It turns out that Gee member Len Jones in the U.K. also has one and sent me some pictures of his which I will share below.

Re: Upper echelon items arrived today
Does anybody else run across these rivet sets during their tool searches? When I first saw the RA PD image I had no idea what they were.

Re: Upper echelon items arrived today
I found two more at a Berkeley estate sale on Friday. They were in need of some dressing up of the drive ends and de-rusting. One is marked RTCO.

Re: Upper echelon items arrived today
I found this RA PD matching Stanley #18 Bevel at a Tool sale on Saturday. This is the first one I’ve run across with the specification matching 8” blade. I also found the General #14 drill bit gage recently.
