I also have the Starrett adjustable parallels, but not the plastic case. I have two of each though, just in case I need two of a similar height range.

I'm sure others would also have one of these, the Starrett No.359 Precision Bevel Protractor in the wooden box at right.

The funny part of this is that I bought it as part of a $100 purchase from a retired Starrett guy, and the box had that afterthought of a milled pocket. Two years later I found the "Acute Angle Attachment" in a box of miscellaneous junk at a flea market. Perfect fit in the box and on the tool!
BTW, the square in the wooden box if the 3" No.55 bevel-edge square. I came across the box new on eBay for $5, long after I'd got the square. The larger V-blocks are Starrett No.568, a matched pair for $40 in the orginal box. The smaller ones are matched No.278's, but missing one of the clamps.
