Description:
This is perhaps the cheeziest marking gage design ever patented. It uses a thin spring steel fence riding on a steel ruler. The point is removable, and held at an angle to facilitate referencing the angled fence.

Even more amazing than the fact that this design was patented, it was also produced. The commercial version is a real piece of junk, and because of this the tool is extremely rare.
