Date just markers

Hi,

I have seen some 1601 datejusts which appear to have double stick markers. What are these referred to as? I have attached a picture of an example. Thanks.

So the hands on this one seem to be incorrect. It does give it a different look though

I'm not sure if that's wideboy to be honest. May be chalk board eraser.

Not a Wideboy; Wideboy indexes are similar but shorter.
