Nice buy Ace. Are their any markings on it? Thanks for sharing...

Drafting machine comes up with plenty of examples. Nice find, they seem to range all over the place as far as prices go.

Are there any brand names or logos on it? It looks like an older K&E arm to me. (Keuffel & Essler)

Time period is correct, but is missing 2 scales...they were either clear plastic or aluminum...

Not much use today due to the advent of AutoCad software...nostalgic maybe...

I junked mine a while back...

I've been seeing a lot of vintage drafting items lately. Tables, print cabinets, etc. looks like neat stuff to re-purpose
