I have a K&E slide rule,

I had a Pickett Simplex Trig, for years. After a couple years, the college coursework exceeded it's ability, so I added a bigger Pickett. When my mom sold her house, in the mid 80s, I added the slide rules to the stack in the garage sale. Couldn't believe it, but someone bought them.

I used an Alvin drafting set for years too. I thought Alvin had gone out of business, but I found a web site for them.
