Sirs:
My grandmother had a meterstick that she got while in Tahiti in 1982
but someone appears to have thrown it out long ago.
No wonder, there is resistance to accept SI (metric) Units! Who cares?

The educational supply stores around here didn't even know what it was and
didn't carry it

Try an education supply store. That's where I bought mine. The ones I
found are double-sided (one side meter, the other side 39 inches) but
they're thick and metal-tipped. They were about $5 I think.
