A real working surveyor’s tape that doubles as a strong industrial styling piece. This Evans “White Tape” 100 foot retractable measure has a leather cased body with a plated center and a steel blade, the kind of tool that lived in jobsite bags and field kits long before plastic took over.
The maker dial shows Evans with locations listed for Elizabeth, New Jersey and Montreal, Quebec. It’s a satisfying object in the hand, substantial for its size, and it photographs beautifully because the form is so clean and graphic.
Use it as functional decor on a desk, bookshelf, or coffee table stack, or keep it in a tool drawer for actual measuring. A great fit for mid century industrial, library office styling, and interiors that like honest utility mixed into the room.
Dimensions: approx. 0.75” H x 4.5” diameter.
Tape length: 100 ft.
Condition: Antique or vintage condition consistent with age and use. Retracts smoothly. Wear throughout including scuffs to the leather case, age to the plated center, and visible oxidation and wear to the steel tape and end hook. Sticker on the face is from a previous owner.
