Colorful Pair of Old Cloth Measuring Tapes - 50 & 75 Ft horse breeding history a few with hand-written numbers

a few with hand-written numbers in pencil on them

I love the rows of tiny stitches on either side of the open section

There also appears to have been a tiny inlaid repair long ago

Otherwise very good condition

Not totally my usually thing

Colorful Pair of Old Cloth Measuring Tapes - 50 & 75 Ft horse breeding history a few with hand-written numbersI love the look of these old measuring tapes in their old yellow and green paint, and find it quite a joy to pull the cloth tape (50 and 75 feet of it respectively) all the way out, then spin it back in again! With a really nice weight to them, brass edges and hardware, with hinged handles on one side that pop out to help with the spinning. They just don't make tools like they used to, and I find cloth measuring a handy thing to have around for
