Starrett 439-24 Builders Combination Square the nicest ever

Description

You will not find one nicer.
If you've held a new one, you may understand--
The castings and finish are not as fine.
The parts are epoxied instead of threaded in.
And the "feel" of the mechanisms is not as smooth or positive.
This is from the absolute best era of their construction.
And it is a nice example-- well cared for.
