Before rolling metal tape measures were invented, folding wooden pocket measures were customary. This Stanley #61 four-part boxwood measure is mounted with brass hinges and end-tips. Fully extended, it measures 24". One side is marked in 1/8" increments and the other side in 1/16" graduations. Inset pins keep the folded ruler neat and tidy. (When opened: 24" x .5") da12820b
