Hi All, Though it might look suspicious, I think that this offer is legitimate. I know a bit about the background, and while I have no actual proof (you'd ...
That's the fella that ended up with the remaining Pickett N.O.S. stuff. Mostly 500's and 600's and some 515's and a few odds and ends from what he has told me...
Thanks for that response Dick, the bit I don't understand is very simple, if 1,500 N600 rules miraculously appeared in a warehouse somewhere how did Dr....
Hi, I know the story from talking with the seller some time ago, but I would prefer that you ask him. I'm not trying to be secretive, just respecting what he...
Nothing miraculous about the slide rules themselves. They really are the left overs, the remaining New Old Stock (NOS) from the last days of Pickett, as I...
Check the seller's site: the cases are stamped with a signature, I doubt if there are hand-written signatures on each and every single slide rule. I would...
... The domain name is owned by Bram Wouters, who appears to run a cabinet company in Arizona. The slide rules (oddly called rulers on the site above) come...

Hi All, I also do not have any affiliation with the seller of these slide rules. In September of 2007, the slide rule that Buzz Aldrin actually carried on the...
If you go to Buzz's website (buzzaldrin.com), you'll see that he loans his name to a number of merchandising endeavors (watches & radios are two I noticed)....
Don't we normally look for slide rules that have no markings on them!? But seriously, I would like to think that a slide rule is valuable all by itself and not...
If I had a Thacher signed by Edwin Thacher, would that make it more valuable? If I had a Thacher that was owned by Edwin Thacher and it had the provenance but...

I've heard that signed anything, when signed by a famous living person who is still actively churning out signatures, is worth very little. Now if ol...

There are also other possible Square Root Days. E.g. in 2010 we can have sqrt(10) on March 16. (3.16), at about 2:27 o'clock. :-) John Mosand ... and recharge...
