I was asked in today's daily post to put up a photo of my newest antique tape measure. Its not very old, but is very sweet. It only quilified as an antique last year (has to be 100 years old)

The tape is linen and has 13 inches on it, the wood is boxwood. Measures just under an inch, the handle turns and winds the tape back, all working order, I was quite pleased with the latest addition to my collection.Click image for larger version.  Name: 1911 coffee grinder tape measure.jpg  Views: 91  Size: 44.6 KB  ID: 26865Click image for larger version.  Name: 1911 coffee grinder tape measure 2.jpg  Views: 91  Size: 39.3 KB  ID: 26866
