This 1951 paper ruler/blotter was a duplicate in Alan Tannenbaum's collection of Alice in Wonderland-related materials until this morning, when Alan donated it to my ruler collection. Thank you, Alan. I especially love that the Wonder Number--0143--is meaningful to Charles Lutwidge Dodgson [Lewis Carroll] insiders if you read it as "one less than 43." Every time you look at this ruler you'll see something new.
