New York is the only thing on this piece, Im thinking it is part of a set and the important name would be on the mating piece. I found it in a box in the attic that I have not been in over 30 years. My guest is that I got it in box lot at some auction. Also I have this listed on a number of other Forums, and printing is one of them, but no good replys.

All the numbers (9 thru 20) are the same (9 thru 20) at the 12" mark then continue on to the end. e.g. 11/12th at the 1 ft. mark then the next mark would be 12 11/12th of a foot then 13 11/12th  and so on.

It's a manufactured piece. It has New York stamped in it. A story stick would not have 12 different logarithmic scales on it.
