Antique Vintage Cloth Tailor Dressmakers Measuring Tape Leather Advertising 60":
$28.99

Up for sale is a wonderful, highly collectible piece of early 20th-century sewing ephemera. This is an antique promotional cloth measuring tape featuring its original brown leather header tag beautifully stamped with "Tailors and Dressmakers" in a striking Gothic/Old English font.

These tapes were traditionally manufactured by prominent textile or tool companies at the turn of the century as high-quality promotional giveaways for local dry goods merchants, dressmakers, and tailoring shops.

This piece is being sold as-is in authentic, heavily-used antique condition.

The Leather Holder: In good shape for its age. The stamped black Gothic lettering is crisp, dark, and legible.

The Cloth Tape: Shows discoloration, heavy wear, fraying, and splitting along the edges from decades of genuine use, which is very typical for fragile starch-coated textiles of this era. The tape is still attached to the leather holder.

Perfect for a rustic sewing room display, a history museum collection, or an advertising memorabilia enthusiast who appreciates genuine, untouched character and patina.

Please review all photos carefully as they serve as the primary description of the item's condition. 3448 e823
