Product ReviewsCollecting Figural Tape Measures by Elizabeth & Douglas Arbittier (1997, Trade Paperback)

Should be in every antiques collectors bookcase!

For anyone who is even remotely interested in figural tape measure, which truly are small works of art, this book is a "must have"! The tapes pictured run the full gamut, from "common" to very "rare", and including everything in between. Basically, it's a full color picture book with details about each tape near its photo. It's divided into chapters. In addition, it offers a very general valuation based on the rarity of the tape. I have a very well-worn copy of the book and purchased this one to give to a friend who loves figural tape measures.Read full review...

Collecting Figural Tape Measures

This is a great reference to have with good photos and clearly presented information. I think that needlework collectors need all the books that they can find on the subject...and this is a definite.

good book

just what I needed to see the value of any tape or almost any tape that I see on the internet.the value can really be the key to making a good deal.
