A K&E (Keuffel & Esser) Wyteface 10 foot tape measure. Looks like they
made some high quality stuff. Unfortunately it probably came home by
"mistake" in his coveralls from his boiler welding job. As a kid we
always had a few of these around. I also have the same brand 50' tape
measure, it's in very rough cosmetic condition but it works well.


K&E was known for making high quality aluminum slide rules.


Yes, I saw that. They also made one about 5 or 6 feet long to hang in
the front of the classroom.
