While we are still kicking around this subject, I remembered that I 
still have this guy.

The blade is 36 1/8" long , 1 3/8" wide, the body is 46 3/8" long, and 1 
1/2" wide.  The handle is slotted not piece and the blade tapers down in 
thickness to the end.  Around these here parts, we call these bridge 
builder's squares.  I have a couple of other ones over the decades but 
they aren't very common and I think this is the biggest one I've had.

I also had a glaser's try square, wooden body with close to a 4ft wood 
blade.  That must have gotten sold cause I don't see it out in the 
debris field (I've had a few folks come through on heavy buying raids 
the past year).

Tony (where the rain has briefly stopped but it's going to mess up this 
weekend big time..sigh)
