vintage 48" SLIDE RULE Pickett N4-ES vector 1960-64- $252
I don’t know if Picket was the first to advertise their slide rules on the big wall-hanging ones used by teachers, but when you examine this one closely, you can tell it’s not only a tool but also an advertisement. On one end, you’ll see: “PICKET – ALL AMERICAN – ALL METAL – SLIDE RULES.”
This whopper is made of wood, and there is some chipping along the edges – nothing heartbreaking. Someone disguised it some time back, and I think he used yellow chalk. Nonetheless, touching it up correctly won’t be a big task.
