Need help identifying folding rule

Been lurking for years and have finally got a reason to post.

While out tag sale-ing today I came across an old bucket of tools.
Mostly hammers and files and such. When I got it home I found in the
bottom of the bucket a small folding rule. It appears to be ivory and
only has No. 92 1/2 on it as far as identification (no name brand).
Folded it is 3" long and open it is 12" long.

Anyone out there know who made this and is this possibly a drive by
gloat :-)
BTW I paid $5 for the bucket of tools.

Thanks for any help.

Did a search here for Ivory Rules, couldn't find your number, the price
of some of them may shock you, it may have been a good $5 investment.

Sounds like a Stanley, and yes, you definitely suck.

Doing a little searching and all that I could find was this.

This appears to be the rule. The one I have looks to be in better condition
than this one. I'm starting to get happier now.
