Description:

A very interesting butt gage patent from Stanley's Christian Bodmer, which is a precursor to his more famous patents of 1911 (985,389, 985,504) produced by the Stanley Rule & Level Company.

This patent marks the first appearance of the "lipped" casting that allows the butt gage to be used as a square, but it does not automatically account for the hinge gain like his later patents do.
