little tape measure has a steel
case
and was made to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII and his
Queen, Alexandra in 1902. The edge is stamped "Patent Appld. For". The
back is an advertisement for a publication called Woman's Life. It was
published every Tuesday and cost one penny. The sides with the
photograph and advert look to be printed celluloid. The woven tape is original and complete, and it is marked in inches. It pulls out easily and then zips back into the case when released. The tape measure is almost 1 1/2" in diameter. The condition is excellent with no dents, cracks or loss.
