Got any more pix of 228? I notice it's still "Unknown". It looks like a
folding straightedge, but I'd really like to see some better pix, with it
folded and unfolded, closeups of the hinge, and stick ends, and recess,
and so on. It could be Paul Bunyan's Razor! ;-)

This one belongs to someone else, there used to be more photos of it at this
link, half way down the page:

But I just checked and they're coming up blank, maybe they'll show up in a
day or two. I'll email him and see what's up.



And when I found out that the "boot weight" was made of leather, but
before I found out it was a boot weight, I was going to say, "blackjack."
Which is probably what it was, like a "tire checker" is a tire checker.
;-)

I actually bought the book weight at a book store, but I guess someone could
use it for whatever suited their needs. A lot of people thought it was a
blackjack.
