Description:

This offering features a vintage Lufkin brand woven fiberglass tape measure, housed on its original orange plastic reel. The tape measures approximately 100 feet in length, marked in feet and inches, and is designed for surveying, construction, or general measurement tasks. Lufkin, a well-respected name in precision measuring tools since 1869, is known for its durable and accurate products, often favored by professionals in the field. This particular model, with its bright orange reel and woven fiberglass tape, likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, a period when fiberglass tapes became popular for their resistance to stretching and moisture compared to traditional linen tapes. The reel features a black plastic handle for winding and a small black knob on the side, likely for a stake or ground anchor. Expert observation confirms the Lufkin branding faintly visible on the reel, indicating its authenticity and quality craftsmanship. The overall condition is good, showing honest wear consistent with its age and intended use. There are surface scuffs and dirt on the orange plastic reel, and the fiberglass tape itself exhibits some discoloration and minor fraying along the edges, but the markings remain legible. All components appear to be intact and functional, with no major breaks or repairs evident, making it a reliable tool for continued use or a nostalgic addition to a vintage tool collection in the Denver area.
