Being offered for sale is the antique STANLEY No. 81 CARPENTER'S BOARD SCALE FOLDING RULE from circa late 19th or early 20th century (as per John Walter's book "Antique & Collectible Stanley Tools...Guide to Identify & Value" which has the No. 81's manufactured from 1854-1915 and based on the Stanley logo, we believe this rule falls somewhere in the middle -to- end of those production years), as seen in the pictures/as described in the title. Please see below for condition notes. Being offered for sale AS-FOUND, uncleaned. May require a thorough detailing to bring to its full potential. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED or your money back...no questions asked!
