I recently received a Pickett N-500-T in a tan *suede* case. Has the typical black plastic liner and tuck in flap, as well as the belt ring on the back. And...
Hi John, I've been looking for a circular with a P scale for at least a year now and haven't had any luck. However, right after I asked the question on the...
Hi Gary, I've only seen two examples of Pickett tan suede cases - one for a Pickett N803 (without a belt loop) and one for a Pickett N1010SL (with belt loop)....
Happy New Year everyone. I had an interesting request from a gentleman who lost his K+E slide rule around 1960. I don't know the model, but the rule itself...
Gary, I think some rules came with a reddish-brown sueded case as well. Check out Dick Schwartzer's Pickett Emporium. Even though the images aren't very...
Happy New Years- Pickett started offering "suede" early on when they first started in on the "N" model SR's. The first one was the basic 902 type fake leather...
I have an N300-T "pocket" rule, with the same Pickett logo, in a slip top tan suede case. I have seen others so I'm not sure they are unusual. Marion Moon...
Those suede pairs shuld be avoided like the plague. The suede case for the pocket model is unlined, and even if the SR was stored inside the plastic inside...
Here is yet another translation. This one comes from a friend very familiar with the language, as a native speaker. All it says to him (a quite well educated...
It may be an interesting idea to start a searchable list of name engraved slide rules, and how to contact the person in their possession. Or, perhaps some...

When I first started collecting, I acquired one of these and posed the same question to my limited (at the time) circle of fellow collectors. Someone (I'm...
Roger, That was a really unecessary rudeness to someone who was attempting to explain some of the naming conventions used by the Japanese. I found the post to...
Gary: As you see by my note to the slide rule list, I am taking myself off this volunteer project. Perhaps Roger Outright's Japanese friend can do this...
Hi all, I am not one of the moderators of this group, although I AM one of the moderators of the closely associated slide rule trade group, also on Yahoo....
Poor william has no sense of humor, whatsoever. As my Japanese friend was merely trying to point out in his own way, things can be over-translated. In this...
Dick I never thought about keeping up with names on slide rules. Probably 30-50% of my rules have names on them. That is a project just to go through them. ...
Greetings Have another cool Euro rule that came from California. Ever seen one like it? Any ideas of age? Looks to be a Nestler Business Rule. I found a few...
In remediation of what I said earlier about the suede and "suedene" boxes being labeled as such, a more correct assertion would be that up until the last...
Hi Clark, I agree that keeping a log of names on slide rules would be quite a task, but our group seems to excel in accomplishing the almost undoable. :-) Any...

Dick It very well could yield some interesting stories. I always like to hear from people that actually used a particular rule. I have not been good about...

All, Just as a point of reference, my Pickett N1010T has a tan suede case with black plastic liner and tuck in flap. I got it for High School physics class in...
I have shipped a few thousand Pickett boxed sets over the last few years through the SRU, and noted a bizarre range of case variations. I thought I would pass...
