About Lufkin rules

Lufkin was an American measuring-tool maker based in Saginaw, Michigan, producing rules, tapes, squares and machinist layout tools from the late 19th century well into the 20th. The range here is typical: boxwood folding and caliper rules, steel tapes, bevels, levels and precision shop gauges. Boxwood-and-brass rules in crisp condition with legible markings carry more than worn or stained examples, and unusual patterns such as the No. 42 shipwright's bevel or wide-body caliper rules stand above common folding rules. Machinist items like the No. 58 level or No. 900 planer gauge do better complete and in their original boxes.

The 38 sales behind these figures come from Ted Dawson Antique Tools (15), Jim Bode Value Guide (14) and Hyperkitten (9), and run from 2020 to 2026; 18 closed in the last twelve months. 6 listings for sets, pairs or lots of Lufkin rules were left out, because a set's price is not one tool's price.
