The John Rabone and Sons number 4211 tape measure is an old tape measure
housed in a leather case.
The internal measuring tape is made from steel with the measurements
marked in increments of inches and feet. Each inch increment is further
broken down into quarter increments.
The John Rabone And Sons 4211 tape measure is fitted with a steel ring
pull fixed to the start of the tape. The ring pull also allows the user
to potentially hook the pull over something to aid in long distant measuring.
The 4211 also has a brass winding mechanism. The winder neatly clips into a
central hole when not in use.
This Rabone tape measure was presented in a small Rabone square cardboard box.
The tape photographed was a 100ft long tape. Other sizes of this tape were
manufactured by John Rabone and Sons.
