Vintage 1960s Keuffel & Esser 10ft measuring and similar items

Welcome to my listings on Bonanza! I’m yet another refugee from the other site, you know, the one I can’t mention by name because I’m too afraid of getting a “cease and desist” letter from their legal department. Yes, THAT website. I do NOT make obscene profit on shipping handling. If I overcharge it is only for the sake of convenience in listing; you only pay the actual shipping and any balance is refunded to you. That said, I’ve been selling a long time and I pride myself on being the most honest seller on the web. I bend over backwards to provide excellent photos, short but concise descriptions and measurements when there is no manufacturer’s size/spec tag. Having said that, I do not provide additional measurements or photos because in my many years of selling I learned that people almost never purchase the item! Sorry, but I have to do what is in my best interest and that means saving time, MY time. If there is a maker’s flaw, rip, tear, stain, bald spot or otherwise damage worth showing, then I’ll show it in the photos and/or mention it in the Item Title or Item Description. Cat fur included at no extra charge. That means that I have two cats in my house and I let them sleep on any damned thing that they want to, including my merchandise as I photograph it for listing. I do not smoke and neither do my cats. ************************************************ This is NOT just another measuring tape; this is a tool with a lot of heft, made by a company which is renowned for being the first manufacturer of precision instruments in America. Minor scratches and dirt on the case. The tape is in excellent condition and comes easily in and out. The locking mechanism is a "trigger" style on the bottom and works with ease. Price includes domestic shipping.
