This is a wooden desk ruler promoting the Hudson Engineering Co. who were based in Hoboken, New Jersey, US and produced by Geiger Brothers of Newark New Jersey, in the early 20th century.
The hard wood ruler is 15 inches long and is printed / engraved in black with various markings as per the images and showing the maker, Geiger Bros. on the top left hand corner, when they were operating from Newark, New Jersey, US.
