DescriptionThis tape measure features six feet of tape with marked sizes in inches. The tape has a white background with black markings and numbers for the measurements with a silver metal clip at the end in a right angle. The circular metal case holding the tape has the capitalized block letters "VULCAN" at the top followed by a red circle in the center and the words "6 FEET" below with "Chrome Plated Case" further below this in a curved style around the outside of the case. Two metal parts are joined in the center to create this container that reflects the origins of a tool still in everyday use today.On View
