Got a square at the remains of an estate sale......even the dregs were great. The old boy was a collector, then dealer. They'd had eight auctions over the last several years and this was it. A Marsh miter saw made in Rockford, IL, brick carriers, which I need, lots of draft horse stuff which my 8 guys and gals will love.... 6 drafts and two saddle horses...... BUT Got this nice steel carpenters framing square, tapered legs, very cool lettering, a small graduated section in hundredths of an inch, just cool. It has the logo of a diamond, inside is a large C with a single sided serif pointing back, like half an arrowhead, and SC inside of that large C. Who made it?? Warranted Steel God bless. Mike |

Southington also made a joint for take-down squares that was the winner in the take-down-square-joint sweepstakes - simple and effective Ed Minch |

Kirk, Thank you! That is the company for sure. From the font of the lettering and the numbers, this is early. There are traces of nickel coating on parts of the blade and tongue. God bless. |

Yes, that is a cool bevel. I have an all metal one just like the one in the patent drawing #2. It works really well. Charlie |

I have the 10in and like it very much. Veritas/LV has got a large collection of vintage tools upon which to draw when they are designing a product. Too bad they discontinued these.
