Still have my 10" Picket slide-rule with the required belt sheath and 6" pocket version, haven't used them since the 80's.

I have one of those aluminum Pickett slide rules in a leather case that I used in my High School Electronics class. 
I also have a Heathkit VTVM (vacuum tube voltmeter).   It still works but the rubber covered test leads are rotted.
One instrument I always loved to use was a Simpson 260 VOM.  Years ago I moved on to Digital meters, the one use is made by Fluke, but i missed the feel you could get when using an analog meter, so I bought a good used 260 for $50 and love to use it.
