your slide rule is most likely pre-1970s, as the introduction of scientific calculators in the early 70s rendered these obsolete. Prior to the scientific calculator the slide rule was use as a mechanical calculator by engineers and scientist for complicated logarithmic calculations.
On another post of a slide ruler on this site is a reference to a website that tracks these instruments and has pertinent info on them. Cool piece...
