    Antique Brass Tape Measure
    English * Circa 1880
    This little tape measure is solid brass and would be a great one to carry around if you need to do some serious measuring. It is 1 3/4" in diameter and the woven tape is 15 feet long (marked on the side). It has a coffee grinder style crank on top. This winds in the tape and it works perfectly.
    It has the original woven tape marked in inches and the stop/tab is also original.
    It's in excellent condition with no dents or other damage and it has the original, unpolished patina. It was bought in England.
