Rabone 1167 Rule Review By: I.Ball
Category: Old Rules
Manufacturer: Rabone
Tool Type: Rule
Model No: 1167
The Rabone rule number 1167 is a four-fold folding rule
made from boxwood with brass fittings.
These rules were made in different sizes, I have so far found two sizes:
- 24 inch
- 36 inch
The 1167 is marked out in inches with 1/8" increments on both sides
of the rule.
The rule is marked with the wording 'Boxwood, Rabone, Made
In England, No 1167'.
These rules sometimes had advertising printed on them. This particular
photographed rule had the advertising markings 'Hunter & Hyland
Ltd, Huntland Works, Ingrave St, London, SWII'.
<1958 - 1990>

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
