| Type: sewing tool | Material: Brass |
A lovely little miniature, antique, Victorian, sewists / needlework / sewing tape measure in the shape of a fishing reel.
Only a miniature measuring approx. 2.3cm diameter and 1.8cm wide but fully functional and in full working order.
The reel looks to be made out of two materials; one of them brass and the other possibly a cow / bovine bone and it has a cloth tape with only inches shown on one side.
You pull the tape out by the little brass tab and rewind it with the small ha...ndle on the side. I've never seen one quite so small before and it is still in full working order although I have not attempted to pull the tape out to its full length incase I damage it.
Lovely condition for its age with just the general and normal wear and tear you would expect for an item of this age. Probably dates to the middle to late 19th century.

Europe postage including insurance £ 9.50.Rest of World postage including insurance £ 11.25.Please Note: I do ask that all payments are made within 24 hours of sale.
