Metric steel rule

[Rick_Tatum]

I'm looking for a steel 1000mm/1 meter rule. Can't seem to locate a U.S. source. Anyone know where I can score one?

I've never dealt with this company (to my knowledge), but I used to be a buyer for an art supply store (so I may have), and I just got out my favorite stainless rule and searched for the product number (DPT-1, in case you're interested, and it's on that page), and that page came up. Unfortunately, my rule doesn't have a manufacturers stamp, and I don't remember who makes it (it may actually be B&H).

If you have any trouble locating what you're looking for, let me know. The company I used to buy for is still in business, and I know the owners. They love to find unusual items like that for people.

[update]Catalog number for the meter stick is "L339-39", and the price as listed is $18.00
