The Old Marchon PD Sticks

[Grubendol]

Anyone have any idea where I could find the old Marchon PD sticks still? It's always been my favorite PD ruler since I pretty much entered the field close to 30 years ago. My last one is starting to delaminate and I can't stand the thought of doing this stuff without it.

3d print your own?

Printing your own would most likely run afoul of copyright laws (I see a copyright right on the stick). Check eBay.

I'm sure the copyright applies to the trade name Marchon and not to the ruler. In any case make some minor changes and you will be free of the encumbrances of any copyright issues. Cripes how do you think the lens manufacturers operate.

Actually, it looks like the Marchon name has a TM, for trademark, after it, then the ruler itself has a copyright. I doubt the copyright police will show up if you make your own, but using pirated stuff in a commercial setting is just asking for the legal hammer to hit you hard. I guarantee I'm just paranoid, but I don't like tempting fate in commercial settings.

Call Marchon and order their dispensing guide it comes glued to the back of it.

I am sure the copyright lawyers would be all over that! Really?

I have one I don't use. If you're interested let me know.

I found a few where do you want me to send them?
