Just a little different lufkin tape
« 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?

Looks like it was pretty well cared for. Interesting acquisition Skip.
A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.
