yes, I agree, thankyou! I found this at a yard sale a while back and thought it was neat but never had the chance to use it, so it just sits around collecting dust!
I'm not quite sure, it has no markings atall, but I did have an antique dealer that deals in antique tools take a look at it for me and he had not seem another like it, but would guess it is a sewing tape measure from the early 1930-40's, sorry I can't give you any more info;)
I would love to, but I am not finding an option to upload or edit?? I am going to try to add it to this message, but if it does not work, I can send it directly to your email?
