Little silver (untested) tape measure has ornate embossed and filigree design. Tape is complete and works by turning the top of the tape. It was probably made in England in the early 19th century, probably by Joseph Taylor of Birmingham. English silversmiths were not required by law to hallmark and pay duty on small silver items in these times.

Nice condition with no dents. The off-white silk tape is original and marked in inches. It starts at 1", goes to 35". The tape winds into the case by turning the filigree knob on top and it works well. It measures 3/4" high and is 5/8" in diameter.
