This L. S. Starrett No. 47 "Improved Bevel" is in excellent condition. It shows signs of use with very minute scratches and one or two dark spots, but it is over 100 years old! This is the scarce, diminutive 6 inch model with a 3.50 inch stock. The edges are sharp and clean as is the metal. T is no rust or pitting. The early "L. S. Starrett Co" logo is easily readable. The locking nut is original and functions perfectly. Because Starrett changed its name and logos in approximately 1896 from L. S. Starrett to "The L. S. Starrett" this bevel pre-dates 1896. The advantage of this bevel over others made was that not only is the blade slotted, so is the stock. This facilitated adjustments not capable on other bevels. Look closely at the sharp pictures and decide for yourself its value. An early, 6 inch and "L. S." only bevels are tough to find in this condition.
