A set of four vintage slide rules spanning American and Japanese makers, appealing to collectors, engineers, or anyone with an appreciation for pre-calculator computation tools.
The four rules:

- Sun Hemmi (Post branded) long rule - A longer bamboo rule, also in a red cardboard box with handwritten notes. Comes with a tan leather belt case. Scales visible include LL, DF, CF, S, C, D, R1, R2, L and a conversion table on the back.
- Keuffel & Esser Log Log Duplex Decitrig - A high-end American scientific rule with extensive LL scales, in its original green vinyl snap case. Marked "Copyright 1947" and "Keuffel & Esser Co." Scales include LL01, LL02, LL03, K, A, CF, CIF, CI, C, D, DI, LL1, LL2, LL3.
