    No makers info. Handed down from my grandfather.
    Measurements down front back and top side.
    I'd like to find more info on it.

      It looks like a board foot measure that would be used in a lumber mill to calculate the number of board feet in a piece of cut lumber.

      Yes, I finally found some info that points to that exactly.
      I had never heard of/seen one before.
      Thanks for the info!
