Lufkin surveyors tape looked ordinary when I got it at the auction.

once I got closer  I see it is stamped  "100 Links" instead of the expected 100 feet.

so it's 1 Chain long.

66 feet

wont be too handy, but it is pretty interesting

Very nice! Is the handle wood or steel?

handle is wood

Hello, Skip. Nice find, looks to be in very good condition. Regards, Lou

Looks like it was pretty well cared for. Interesting acquisition Skip.

 good find, I had never seen one.  I have the chain type. ( if I can find it ? )

Now you can do traditional surveying!
