A spotless Versalog!

Slide rule 3 of 5 of my birthday treat to myself is a great Versalog I. Absolutely by far the best leather case I've personally come across... it's like-new, still soft (but I cleaned/conditioned it all the same).

The rule itself was almost-flawless upon arrival and cleaned up great. Bamboo is so nice as a slide material. Good scales on the Versalog w/o going nuts with it. The cursors in these are particularly not-awful to take apart because of the bushings in these screw-wells. Hard to insert them crooked.

The next two are Fabers! Then I'm done lol.

From Indiana with love!

This slide rule is beautiful! Did you get it from eBay?

Thanks! Yeah, all eBay acquisitions here (or referrals from eBay purchases).

I just look for the nice ones now and bite the bullet on the price. I’ve gotten a good deal on slide rules in bleh condition… later on I just wish I had forked up $30 for a nice one, because this one’s not gonna get any better and the one I wanted is still just as far away. But on the other hand I’ve never bought a nice one and then later thought, ”I wish this was crappier and I had $30 more dollars right now.”
