    That's is certainly a very rare Geneva, I've seen a few, nothing even remotely close to this one.

    I consider it made for some exhibition/display or possibly by an employee on his lunch hour. Rare, anyway!

    Plastic with fractions. Has hit the floor a bunch, but great for what I need it for!

    OK, I'll play. This Frieder.herder.arb.sohn # 50 was a 9/8s untill I had to hone out a small crack. It still measures a hair over 8/8s. I have not been able to find any mention of a #50 anywhere.
