Old-School Tools

One from the “fine measuring tools” drawer of the toolchest (Sharpie for scale, glass container to hold stuff down for photographing).

Keuffel & Esser 100’ tape:
_made in the U.S.
_folding hand rewinder knob w/detent capture
_tape end has folding hook to anchor one end as you walk it out
_real leather wrap
_weighs 4 lbs. -ish
_rollers for smooth retraction of tape

I estimate its age at 60+ years. Works like a charm. Though to be honest, my need for a 100’ tape is pretty infrequent! Good for exterior building and small lot measurements.
