Brass on mahogany is a classic look, evocative of our seafaring history; throw in some well worn leather and I think you have a beautiful combination. Add to that the knowledge that these tape measures have had a long life measuring out the long jumps and javelin throws of British youth, and you have a beautiful and evocative addition to your home. Of course the actual tapes don't go to waste, as can be seen from my door screens. The actual winding mechanisms could be cleaned and buffed up with Brasso if you wished, but I prefer them to show their history.

Full description
Unique but flawed letter and key rack made from three vintage brass tape measure winding mechanisms (the type the PE teachers got out on sports day). Each is a different type of winder, embedded in a solid block of polished reclaimed Brazilian mahogany, and has its original leather surround displaying the much-worn stamp of the maker. I have cut a lip into the top so that it can hold letters. Unfortunately I have had to cover a big nail hole with a mahogany patch on the bottom of the rack, hence the reduced price. L 250mm x H 95mm x D 45mm. Waxed finish.
