Horse Measuring Walking Stick
C. 1920
Item: 092
A Bakelite crook handle incorporates a steel cover which when pulled upwards reveals a measuring ruler to measure the wither height. Including the spirit level which is often missing.
One side shows the size in cm, the other side in Hands. The Spirit level bubble is retained in an amber solution and is fully functioning. The Shaft is made from bamboo and is finished with a brass ferrule.
Very good condition - Some minor scratches to the handle crook to be expected
commensurate with age.
