Vintage No 61 2 Ft Carpenters Folding Rule. This weighs 1 3/4 oz unboxed. Not signed as to the maker, but based on the parallel horizontal rulings this is either a Stephens or a Chapin-Stephens product. This is in reasonably good condition and was lightly cleaned. The outside has most of the original finish and there are some spots of some kind of residue there. There is some staining on the one side where the hinge arms go through the wood. The inside finish is also original and good.... The brass has some light patina. The joints are good and all three locator pins are present. This ain't minty perfect but considering the age, well it sure ain't bad. A collectible old folding rule for sure! READ Aug 23, 2019. For years I have have offered next or in many cases same day shipping, however due to a not seller friendly change in how eBay is getting the payments to their sellers, I can no longer do that. eBay is taking up to 7 days to send payments to sellers and as a small business, that is causing a major impact. I will do a 4 day shipping but that is best that I can do at this time. All items for sale unless otherwise noted are purchased and in most cases professionally restored by me. I take pride in offering quality items. Not everything is perfect, but it is as I say it is. Also, I smoke a pipe, drink whiskey, both cheap and good, and cuss more in a hour than most folks do in a month. If any or all of the above bother's ya, well then we ain't got no reason to be doing business.RULES OF THE GAME - READ ME!I do my best to ship items as cheap as possible. The shipping method is determined by weight and in some cases, the overall size of the item. Both Ebay and PayPal charge sellers a fee on what they charge for shipping. That is 12% for domestic and 13% for international. Those fees along with the cost of the packing materials is factored into the shipping charge. It costs me more in fees to send a 2 lb package to California than it does to Ohio and a whole lot more to send the same package overseas and I cannot afford to pay those costs. This is a full time business for me and not something I do in my spare time. I do not ship via UPS or Fedex (and they sure ain't any cheaper). I am always happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases. Just add the items to your shopping cart and request that I send an invoice, which I will do as soon as possible. Ebay does not refund the fees on shipping even if I do a partial refund and I would much rather have that money to buy more items to sell.I only reciprocate Feedback received unless you are a very regular customer. I leave feedback about once a week or so. Don't get excited if I don't leave you feedback right away. Just easier to sit down and do a bunch at a time for me.Any questions, feel free to email me. However, please keep in mind that I am NOT on-line 24 hours a day. Thank you.
