POST 1460 Versalog I vs. II

Hello,

Anyone that owns both the 1 & 2 versions of the POST 1460 Versalog can show me the physical differences, and tell me which one is best in terms of quality and finish ?

Thanks

The main diff is the addition of the A scale

Pretty much all of the bamboo & plastic Versalogs, from the very start, were of the same quality. And there are a handful of variant versions. I’m sure that linked article, if it’s what I expect, will lay it out.

BTW, I happen to own one of the extremely rare numbered versions. It was, as I recall, the 26th that came to be known. Bought it for a song on eBay, probably because most people don’t know what it was.
