Protractor for Combination Square needs matching rule
I just picked up a used protractor for a combination square. I thought it would fit on my stanley square, but while the blade fits into the head it will not lock in place. It seems as though it would take a blade (rule) that is 1.125″ wide rather than the standard 1″ wide blade. I can just make out “The L. S. S. Co Anthol MA No 490 stamped on the edge of the base.
I can’t seem to find 1.125″ wide replacement rules anywhere on line. Is the protractor broken (seems not) or does it take a vintage blade that was wider? Any idea where I can find a replacement rule for this protractor head?

That’s a venerable L.S. Starrett....
