We have spent quite a bit of time trying to learn more about it via the internet...to no avail. The closest thing we have found is a 1927 Bakelite 6ft Straightedge. <br />We were wondering if anybody on this thread knows anything about it. <br />Thank you. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-65594577631670546282022-06-20T14:08:09.678-04:002022-06-20T14:08:09.678-04:00I have my father's Murray-Black

I thought they had something to do with drafting as her dad worked 30 years as a Draftsman/Engineer for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in Manhattan, NY. Had to clean them up a bit to see the Murray - Black Co. embossed on them. I guess I'll keep them since I now know what they are. <br /><br />Thanks, Mark<br />moomba19@gmail.com<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-19747246894486232812021-01-31T21:52:34.080-05:002021-01-31T21:52:34.080-05:00I have an 8 foot paper hangers plank with the pate...I have an 8 foot paper hangers plank with the patent nbr 2120158 on it!

You have obviously been doing the same. <br />I thought you might find it interesting to know that I have a trimmer marked “THE MURRAY-BLACK CO. PAT. JAN.5’09. SPRINGFIELD, O.”<br /><br />I looks older than the model 22. I hope this somehow helps in your research. <br /><br />Thank you.Oldironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12917419405093599283noreply@blogger.com
