Description

Lovely little Tunbridge ware tape measure by the famous maker, Edmund Nye. It's clearly marked on the original red silk tape with his stamp. The tape is calibrated in nails. Condition is excellent in every way - tape original and complete, no crack or damage to the rosewood body and the stickware top has no missing pieces. A lovely little item measuring just over 1" high. Dates from about 1860.
I prefer payment by bank transfer, details on request.
I regret that due to current regulations I am unable to ship ivory items to the United States, even though all items are CITES compliant.
