Antique hand-carved vegetable ivory tape measure with Stanhope viewer. Hand-painted flowers on one side with back marked "Bagnols les Bains" (resort in southern France). Cloth tape that rewinds easily by turning the spindle on top. Spindle appears to be carved bovine bone and has Stanhope viewer with two images that are too tiny for me to make out. Measures 1-5/8 inches tall and 3/4-inch wide. Small chip to bottom (which identifies tape measure as vegetable ivory) otherwise excellent condition.
