Description

A beautifully crafted antique 66-foot leather measuring tape by John Rabone & Sons of Birmingham, England. Encased in richly aged leather with solid brass fittings and its original woven tape, this piece reflects the exceptional craftsmanship for which Rabone became renowned.

Once an essential workshop tool, today it serves as a striking decorative object for a library, study, sewing room, or thoughtfully collected shelf. The warm leather patina, embossed maker's mark, and brass winding mechanism celebrate the enduring beauty of everyday English craftsmanship.

Whether displayed among antique books, architectural drawings, or vintage curiosities, this measuring tape brings authentic heritage character to any home.
