Beautiful Antique Folding Bold Ruler, Six Inches Vaclav Vytacil 1977 5 5/8" long x 4"

5 5/8" long x 4" deep x 3 3/8" tall

was I believe made by the Zanesville Stoneware Company

There is loss to the brass finish in a few spots--on one side of his tiny head and a couple of spots on the tail (shot at magnification)

or to throw in a backpack before heading off on a hike

A great gift

Beautiful Antique Folding Bold Ruler, Six Inches Vaclav Vytacil 1977 5 5/8" long x 4"I found what appears to be an exact match of this lovely little bone and brass folding ruler that dates it to 1820 or so; I don't know for certain, but definitely 19th century, and most definitely a really wonderful little object. The numbering on the inches is pretty faint at this point but can still be read, as can the lines dividing each inch into eighths. A fantastic gift for an architect or anyone who frequently takes the measure of things,
