Starrett square

Is there any way of dating one of these. I have one that I use that was my
dad's. Have no idea when he got it. Only markings I can find on it are on
the blade. The markings are, Hardened no.4 The L.S.S. Co. Anthol,
Mass. USA. Thanks.

Try contacting Starrett's, directly. Maybe, they can be of some help

Or perhaps he made a typo in describing the markings. Does it say "Anthol" or
"Athol" ?

I thought that the proper name of Starret is L. S. Starrett Company.
That would be LSS Co. wouldn't it?
