I would like to purchase a replica cubit, but my old source no longer makes them.  They have always been great for retirement gifts, etc.  I just haven't needed one in a while and when I looked around I couldn't find them.  Does anyone currently have a source for these?

I did some searching and couldn't find anything.  This doesn't really help, but on NIST website, they have a really nice, suitable for high resolution print, photo of a cubit stick and accompanying finely etched wooden case.  This one has me befuddled.  I may try to do some more looking today.

NCSLi had a number of these items made for presentation gifts, but their supply of them has been depleted to zero.

Its probably my severe ADD kicking in, but I want a Cubit replica.  If anyone finds out where to get it, please post.
