CONDITION NOTES:

Good/G+ antique condition with moderate -to- severe overall wear (scuffs, scratches, stains, dings, dents, etc.) from normal use over the years but NO breaks or repairs.

Hinge is strong and operates smoothly...not too loose, not too tight and folds together flush with good hold/pressure by wedging under bottom caliper jaw (very good design detail). Bottom caliper jaw slides freely. No bowing or warping to the wood. Insanely rich, beautifully deep & dark patina to all materials throughout. All-in-all, an incredible example of a ultra unique folding-caliper-rule!! See pics.
