Description:
Nice tracer of the Second Half S.XIX. It would probably belong to a box of measures. The handle is two pieces assembled. One of turned wood, cylindrical, with a ball at its end. Another brass, located at its base, with a small threaded hole in which the head is screwed. The head is made of steel in one piece, with a threaded bolt. The tongues have the wear and tear of their use and little rust due to the time elapsed. The tips of the tongues are very well preserved. The distance between tabs is graded by a thumbwheel, which goes through one of the tabs, and is screwed into the opposite tongue.
It is convenient to perform a cleaning, with which it would significantly improve its appearance. Very interesting as a collector's item.
1937 - Tracer lines steel, wood and brass. S.XIX
