Robert Belcher Antiques has dated this piece to the 1930s.
It is fully leather bound and stitched with a brass folding handle and tape opening.

The measure is of the larger size, 100 feet in total and is finished in blued and polished steel with one inch divisions separated into eighths.
The original early steel tape measure is rarely found and is in good condition with no kinks. The measure has been well cared for and has a lovely tactile feel and is very pleasing to the eye.
