This interesting and nearly new cordage rule/caliper that is marked "Hall-Mark / Ropes and Cordage/ Sole Suppliers / Harll's Barton Ropery Co. LTD, Hull, England." Not listed in the Rhee's "Rule Book", I suspect it dates from about 1965. In excellent condition, it is of the smaller cordage rule size, 4 1/2 x 1 3/4" with scales in both inches and millimeters. It measures both diameters and circumference, and provides a table showing coil weights of different sizes of manila and sisal/manila rope as well as breaking strengths in the sizes. In excellent condition this is a great little rule for a nautical or cordage rule collection Fine. $125.00
Pictures coming soon
