* SOLD * A delightful pocket sized tape measure , dinky but delightful and still very much fit for purpose.
This little marvel has a red cloth tape , marked on both sides, one being cms , the other inches. The tape is retractable and given its vintage age still pulls smoothly from its mechanism.
The tape is encased in brass with one side depicting a scene of three cherubs emerging from clouds with a divine light. The other side of the casing has an embossed design.
The tape measure is in lovely vintage condition with very few areas of wear & tear.
Some areas of the tape have a little fraying but it winds outwards and retracts back smoothly. The printed numbers are legible and easy to read.
One side of the case is much shinnier than the other – I feel its been polished up previously , but I have left it alone.
A real delight for the seamstress, dressmaker , tailor amongst us – a great piece for a habdashery collection, a prop, display piece or a wonderful gift.
It measures a delightful 1 inch diameter.
