Vintage Rabone 3-Foot Folding Ruler – Made in England

Maker: Rabone, England – circa 1950s, a fine example of mid-century English craftsmanship.

A genuine Rabone folding wooden ruler, crafted in England and measuring 3 feet in length when fully extended. Features solid brass joints and end caps, classic black numbering, and that unmistakable vintage Rabone quality.

This piece shows general wear consistent with age and use, including light surface marks, a few flecks of old paint, and a slight misalignment at one hinge (easily adjusted if desired). One side displays a richer aged patina, likely from long-term storage in its folded position — a lovely touch of character that comes only with time.

A superb example of traditional English toolmaking, ideal for collectors, decorators, or display in a vintage workshop.
