Antique 19C Brass Ruler-WAUBUN Coal Company Chicago

Item Details

Description

This is an original antique 19th century ruler from the Waubun Coal Company in Chicago.

A really rare embossed ruler made of brass that comes to a point so it could have also been used as a sorter or cutter of some kind. If you know, let us know! We are estimating the date based on the time the company existed.

SIZE: Approx. 7" long x 3/4" wide.

The only info we could find on this company was from a book titled 'COAL MEN OF AMERICA, A Biographical and Historical Review of the World's Greatest Industry', which showed the President and Vice President of Waubun Coal Co. in 1918.
"CHICAGO
THE RETAIL COALMAN
1918".

GEORGE HERBERT MERRYWEATHER, President and Treasurer of the Waubun Coal Co., 6 N. Clark St., Chicago, Illinois, has been active in the business for 28 years. Formerly he was General Sales Agent for the Pittsburgh, Ohio & Western Coal Co. and Sales Agent for Coxe Bros. & Co. He served as Illinois Scout, Order KoKoal, and as Vice President of the Chicago Coal & Coke Exchange. He is a member of the Executive Committee and Director of the National Coal Jobbers' Association. Mr. Merryweather was born in Brooklyn, New York, September 24, 1870.

CHARLES R. KLINE, Vice President of the Waubun Coal Co., Chicago, Illinois, has been engaged in the business21 years. He formerly was connected with the Mitchell & Dillon Coal Co., Coxe Bros. & Co., Stonega Coal & Coke Co., and the Zenith Furnace Co. He was born at Byron, Illinois, January 26, 1878.
