Title: Just a little different lufkin tape
Post by: skipskip on April 12, 2018, 10:23:07 AM

Lufkin surveyors tape looked ordinary when I got it at the auction.

once I got closer  I see it is stamped  "100 Links" instead of the expected 100 feet.

so it's 1 Chain long.

66 feet

wont be too handy, but it is pretty interesting

Very nice! Is the handle wood or steel?
