Product Description

Step back in time with this authentic Rabone No.1375 Warranted Boxwood Folding Yard Ruler, dated 1939. Manufactured in England by John Rabone & Sons—one of the most respected names in British measuring tools—this piece represents the precision, quality, and craftsmanship of a bygone era.

Made from high-grade warranted boxwood with brass hinges and tips, this folding yardstick unfolds to a full 36 inches (1 yard) with crisp, clearly marked black graduations. The joints remain smooth and functional, allowing the ruler to fold neatly and securely. What sets this example apart is its 1939 date mark, placing it just before the start of World War II—adding unique historical and collectible value.

Whether you're a vintage tool collector, traditional woodworker, or history enthusiast, the Rabone 1375 ruler is both a beautiful and practical item. Its slim, compact folding design made it a workshop essential for generations of craftsmen, and today, it's perfect for display, measuring vintage restoration projects, or gifting to a collector.
