Description
This is a fine antique cased rolling ruler. An English brass cartographer's or architect's instrument, dating to the Edwardian period, circa 1910. A superb example of precision engineering, this piece is ideal for collectors of scientific antiques and military survey equipment.
Quality brass construction, displaying a light, desirable patina from decades of careful use. Favoured by draughtsmen, cartographers, and architects for accurate line work.

Presented within a fitted satinwood carry case, offering rich grain interest and warm caramel hues. Case engraved with the military broad arrow and Ordnance Survey serial number, adding historic and institutional provenance.
Exceptional size and practical form, ideal for display or continued use in specialist applications.
