What the original Apollo ONE-INCH scale cube
looked like (to the right of the socket adaptor):

Oct. 27, 2007: Drake Damerau announces sale of
ONE-INCH scale cubes on the Meteorite List:

as well as one-centimeter ones.

Tungsten Carbide scale cubes, one-inch and
one-centimeter. Say, who is this guy, Jeff?

If you're worried about distinguishing between
one-inch and one-centimeter scale cubes in a
photograph, just lightly scribe the faces of the
one-inch scale cube with a grid of 2.54 lines per
face using the upper-left corner of each face as
an origin.

No one will ever confuse them.
