An old cloth tape measure by Eaton´s of Canada, in inches. The front with measurements up to 60 inches originally (legible up to 57 inches), the front end frayed and faded, the tail end faded with the little metal tab still crookedly attached. Overall there are stains, creasing and fading. This item has been used A LOT. The back reads "T Eaton Co Limited CANADA / Complete instructions on how to measure for all garments will be found on reverse side of order form. If convenient have someone check your measurements so as to make sure they are correct / T. Eaton Co Limited CANADA". This would be perfect in a shadowbox display of old sewing notions, or as a prop piece for photography or movies "The T. Eaton Company Limited, later known as Eaton's, was a Canadian department store chain that was once the largest in the country. It was founded in 1869 in Toronto by Timothy Eaton, an immigrant from what is now Northern Ireland. Eaton's grew to become a retail and social institution in Canada, with stores across the country, buying-offices around the globe, and a mail-order catalog that was found in the homes of most Canadians. A changing economic and retail environment in the late twentieth century, along with mismanagement, culminated in the chain's bankruptcy in 1999."
