$183.42

Please feel free to make an offer.

A Rare Antique Rule or Ruler.

It's stamped in numerous place with;

"Dring & Fage Ltd London Makers to the Customs & Excise".

Also stamped;

"Trade Mark" & "Patent 285242"

"Customs & Excise Crown 138X".

I believe it's made from boxwood & brass.

It's basically two rulers that run in parallel with one another, side by side & slide against one another through their joint & brass fixturing at one end. They also pull apart into two pieces.

One segment goes from Zero inch to twenty nine inches. The other goes from thirty two to sixty nine which might give a clue to its actual use?

In expected used condition for an item of this age & nature.

There's a small piece of wood missing internally on the slide part so you can't see it.

Each part has one end protected by brass.

Each slide is approx 37" long.

It might have been used as Measuring Stick or Dipstick in the Whisky, Beer or some other fluid but please do your own research.

Please study the images as they also form part of the description & please do your own research.

All UK postage includes the extra cost of being signed for, for added peace of mind.

Positive response is always appreciated.
