Antique Leather-Cased Metal Measuring Tape – 33 FT

A handsome antique measuring tape featuring a retractable metal measuring strip housed within a richly aged, dark brown leather-covered circular case. The case is finished with stitched edges and decorative brass fittings, reflecting the practical craftsmanship of traditional measuring instruments.

The metal tape features engraved measurement markings and a circular pull ring, while the central brass winding mechanism is stamped “33 FT,” indicating its original measuring length. The combination of aged leather, patinated brass, and metal detailing gives this piece a wonderfully authentic utilitarian character.

An intriguing addition to a collection of antique tools, architectural instruments, or decorative objects for a traditional study or library. The leather displays scuffs, surface wear, and discoloration, while the metal components show tarnishing and oxidation consistent with age.
