    Description

    Antique Victorian celluloid tape measure with portrait of pretty young woman. No manufacturer's marks. Late 1800s-early 1900s. One side of measure has full-color image printed on celluloid (scuffs, no cracks). Other side of measure has mirror with dark spotting, no chips/cracks. Rim around mirror has lots of wear to metal and mirror is not flush with rim, seems to have sunken a bit into center of measure. Side of measure is gold tone metal. Yellow fabric tape with metal pull. Tape marked only in inches. Tape has old repair near start. Tape has strong retracting quality. You may have to hand feed tape as the old repair sometimes stops tape from complete retraction. Item in as found condition. A nice sewing souvenir from Victorian times.
