Vintage 24\" L.C. STEPHENS No. 4 1/2 Boxwood & Brass Bound Folding Rule For Sale

Vintage 24\" L.C. STEPHENS No. 4 1/2 Boxwood & Brass Bound Folding RuleThis is a vintage 24\" L.C. STEPHENS & CO. - U.S. STANDARD No. 4 1/2 boxwood and brass bound two fold rule with square joint. I rate this ruler in FAIR CONDITION overall. It has both alignment pins and folds up nice and tight. The boxwood has wear from use over the years and some staining (see pictures) and early repair where one leg was cracked. Currently, the rule is functionally sound, but shows lots of \'character\'. An interesting and early example of a vintage two-fold rule by L.C. STEPHENS of Riverton, Connecticut for you to add to your antique measuring tool collection!

If you have any questions regarding this item, please ask me prior to offerding. In the next few weeks, I will be selling folding rules made by Stanley, Lufkin, H. Chapin, Stephens, Rabone, Upson Nut, and others, so if you like folding rulers, please take a second to take a look at my other sales.

Thanks For Your Interest & Good Luck!!!
