This cute tape measure holder in the form of a rabbit (one eyed) measures 2 1/2" long and is 2" high. The tape inside measures 40" (or 100cm) and is re-wound using the rabbit's curly tail. Intriguingly the flanks of the creature each contain an inscription. "To Alice" and "From Frances". From such small beginnings a literary minded collector could construct a whole novel. Manufactured around 1900 the condition of this piece remains excellent.

Item ID: 0221
