I have an old Thorsen 50ft. Steel Tape.model # 57394. No dings or bends in the tape and the exterior is in great shape. Geared more for a collection with it's manual retraction. I believe there's someone out there that would appreciate this tape more than I do. Make an offer, I'm also open to trades, preferably old coins. Will send pics on request. You'll just have to tell me how to do it.
