A delightful marriage of beauty and utility, this antique measuring tape is housed in a shimmering iridescent celluloid case that catches the light with pearl-like luster. Compact and elegant, it conceals a fully functional tape that extends smoothly, its band marked in inches just as it was over a century ago.
Once a staple of a Victorian sewing box or a lady’s desk, this piece reflects the era’s love of refinement in even the most practical tools. The play of color across the celluloid surface elevates a simple measuring tape into a keepsake of charm and craftsmanship.
Equally collectible and usable, it is a small but exquisite reminder of the artistry that infused everyday objects in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
