A FindMyTool reader kindly informed us this is model 1390 (in question, see below).
This John Rabone And Sons rule is a two-piece boxwood folding rule
with integrated measurements on the core hinge.
The rule is marked in inches and subsets of inch measurements which
when opened fully allows measurements up to 24 inches long. The rule
also has 'Square' and 'Line' measurements.
This old John Rabone rule is marked 'J Rabone & Sons, Birmingham, England'.
"J.Rabone & Sons, Birmingham" - found on the face of the rule.

Peter - This is model #1390.
FindMyTool - Thank you Peter, much appreciated.
FindMyTool - UPDATE: I have put this in as #1390 however I have noticed
the John Rabone 1390 rule
has a sliding brass rule or is there a variation
of this rule without a brass slide rule?
I will keep a lookout.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
