White plastic in a vinyl sleeve. With instruction sheet. My first slide rule was a Pickett 80 (not this particular one) that I picked up in fourth grade in 1973 in a Fred Meyer supermarket stationery section. I took it to class and used it quite ostentatiously. The teacher said nothing. I scored about 60% on my problem set that day and left the slide rule home after that.

I soon upgraded to a Pickett N1010 ES and passed my plastic wonder on to a cousin.
