So intriguing with the filagree casting that I just couldn’t resist. Mis-id’d as
a Craftsman try square, turns out it is  union tool try square circa 1885,
predating the starret patent on a try square
And it was probably (exquisitly) re-japanned or was never used (not likely)
Sometimes you jus gotta trust yer gut eh?
