STANLEY NO 38 IVORY ADVERTISING RULE, SCARCE This is , I believe, a Stanley #38 ivory advertising rule.. It has all the characteristics of a Stanley but it is not marked STANLEY so one can not be certain. It would not be unusual for an advertising rule to not have the makers name on it. Most Stanley advertising rules seen are not marked with the Stanley logo , only the advertising message. It is marked "COMPLIMENTS ROCHESTER CAR WHEEL WORKS". It is a 6 inch, 2 fold ivory rule with German silver trim. Ivory advertising rules are quite uncommon and I have only seen 2 in many years of collecting. In Scott Lynk's book "Stanley Special and Custom Rules" t is a chapter on advertising rules and he has no examples of ivory advertising rules. They are that scarce. This rule is in very nice condition. No cracks, chips, etc in the ivory. Most of the ivory remains white, with just a slight amount of yellowing on one leg..A hard to find rule in very good condition. Actually to say these are hard to find is an understatement, they are next to impossible to find, but is one.My E-Bay philosophy is simple, you are the customer and you decide how you want to handle the deal. I will go along with most anything as long as it is not too outrageous and you keep me informed. If it will be a few days before you get payment to me, no problem, just let me know so I will not worry about it being lost. I do not have any hard and fast time lines on what happens when. Normally I will get the package to the PO the day after I receive payment. If for some reason that will be delayed, I will let you know.As usual, you pay the shipping, insurance extra if desired. I personally recommend insurance if the item cost more than around $50, but you decide. On most items I sell, I try to estimate the postage cost by USPS Priority Mail (my shipping method) and include that up front so you know exactly what the cost of the item will be. I'm usually within a couple of dollars of the correct cost depending on your zip code. Unless it is too heavy or too large I ship everything, everyw by USPS priority mail. Never any crazy handling fees or ridiculous reserves.PayPal, money orders or checks accepted. Please allow a few days for checks if it is an expensive item. On most items I ship right away. So far all (well, most) of my dealings have been with nice, honest people. (As I would expect) . I always leave feedback up front, right after you have paid. Some vendors never leave feedback first, they wait till you have left it, that way if you leave bad feedback they can retaliate. I have talked with E-bay about this problem but they always duck the issue. Anyway, I always leave feedback first because I know t will be no problem with my items (or on the rare occasion t is, I will immediately resolve the problem). My satisfaction policy is also very simple, you are the customer and you decide if you want the item. Satisfaction guaranteed, no exception. Purchase may be returned for any reason or no reason within a week in original condition for a full refund. If it is something I did or failed to do I will also refund the postage. If you just changed your mind or found another one down the street, cheaper or better. I still accept returns except you should pay the postage.
