large & showy 15\" try square w/ brass trim & anti-tip tab not graduated:
$55.00

You are offerding on one large try square as pictured.

It is marked with some owner initials stamped over an owner name, and I can make out a few letters but not a name.

Blade length, measured from the far end of the blade to the near end of the handle, is about 15-1/16\". The blade is about 2-15/16\" tall, and is not graduated on either side.

The wood handle is about 11-7/8\" in length, not including the little bit of the blade that protrudes above it.

It is surprisingly substantial, and weighs 1 pound 11.9 ounces on my postal scale.

The handle is a showy piece of wood, and is secured to the blade with the 5 brass rivets and escutcheons. It has a brass face, a rounded shape to the far side and to the end, and it has the little tab to keep the square from tipping (due to the weight of the handle) as it lays on the work.

Condition is good to very good, with some patina (color) and a few small areas of light pitting on the blade. The wood has a bunch of tiny dings. The blade has a slight S shape when you sight down it as shown.


SHIPPING: 4 pounds when boxed, (it takes a large box!), insurance is included. You have the option of USPS Ground Advantage which is slower, or USPS Priority Mail.No International shipping.

I sell what I enjoy, and I collect antique woodworking tools and I enjoy photography! The queue is overflowing with tools right now, as they seem to be finding me faster than I can list them. So please keep watching my postings as I have LOTS more to list!

Searching my listings: I have lots to see! Some of you will undoubtedly enjoy browsing through everything, but if you want to hone in on something specific, I suggest you click on the \"Visit Store\" link in Seller Information section in the upper right of this listing. That will lead you to my extensive system of categories.

How to subscribe to my newsletter? Every Friday sends out my newsletter featuring 10 of my most interesting new listings. To subscribe, click the VISIT STORE to go to my store and then click on the heart symbol that is labeled SAVE SELLER. That will automatically get you on the mailing list for the newsletters. They are free, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

ETHICS IN DESCRIPTIONS: I also buy for my collecting on , and I have been burned too many times by misleading (duh did I forget to mention .......) descriptions, and sales with pictures only of the left side because the right side was trashed. Life is much simpler for me if I disclose what I know or see about an item before you offer, and especially before you receive it in the mail. I come from the handshake school of doing business, and hopefully you are like me and understand what that means. What goes around, comes around.

RETURN POLICY: I believe that if you give honest descriptions, and include enough pictures, you shouldn\'t need a return policy. However, that doesn\'t mean that I won\'t make an occasional mistake. Please offer with the assurance that if I have made an error in my listing, I WILL take care of you. And if you have made an error, and bought the wrong size, for example, I will still take care of you (but I’ll let you pay the return shipping!).

SALES TAX: Interstate sales tax is rapidly becoming a reality in more and more states. If I ship to a state where is required to collect sales tax, will charge you the sales tax for that state. There is lots of information available from that explains it in much more detail. The sales tax is completely out of my hands -- I don\'t have anything to do with deciding whether to charge tax, I don\'t have anything to do with deciding the tax rate, and I never see any of the funds that are collected, they go directly to .

SELLING OUTSIDE OF : Why would I risk my lengthy good standing with to save you a couple of dollars? Especially when you ask on an email that is sent through the email system? Please don\'t ask, the answer is no.

SHIPPING IN THE US: I would rather that you spend your money on my stuff, and not on shipping. I package well, and have a great track record of getting everything to each buyer, and getting it there in one piece. I try to pick the best shipping option for each listing, based on what is the least expensive, and based on what I think is needed to protect the item. I use the US Post Office for everything. If the value is $250 or over, requires your signature at the USPS delivery for the buyer and seller protections to be in effect.

USPS POSTAGE RATE INCREASE AS OF January. Every year the US Postal Service raises rates in mid to late January, and this year is no exception.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I no longer ship Internationally.

sales: I won’t end an sale listing early to sell it to you directly. As a buyer, I really dislike going back at the end of an sale to offer, only to discover that the seller had ended the sale early. So I won’t do that for you, or to you.

PACKAGING: Please check my response -- I package well. I figure if you take the time to purchase from me, then I can take the time to package it well, and not just throw it into a cereal box with a scrap of newspaper.

I hope someday I will meet some of you as we trudge the happy road of tool collecting!
