Vintage Brass Cased Tape Measure

01/07/2025 By Emma Jervis

* 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.
