Item Description
1.75" dia. x .5" thick. This is among the earliest and most superbly colored tape measures ever. Helmsman in yellow slicker battles the raging sea and storm to prove the point that "Deeds Not Words" make for "Reliable" ham (and bacon) from Kingan's in Indianapolis. Tape pulls in/out smoothly, But at 1.5" mark the fabric has 50% tear. Still stable but care is needed if tape is extended. Cello is Exc. Rare. Alan Weinberg Collection.
