K&E 4153-1

K&E 4153-1

A reallyreally simple 5" rule; it's essentially the 4098 A with a nicer cursor, a slightly thicker body made of a different kind of plastic (i think) and no ruler on the back (so i didn't even bother scanning the reverse). Even K&E could make cheap rules, though in this case they at least put a decent cursor on it. One interesting thing about this and the 4181-1 is the use of oblique-angled numbers in place of the red numbers on their larger rules. Maybe they just weren't capable of printing in red on a small rule. Okay, i lied, it's not all that interesting.
