Tape measure
This is a fifty-foot steel tape measure in a leather case with a winder. It was made by John Rabone & Sons of Birmingham. It belonged to the Bushell Brothers, Charlie and Joseph, who ran a canal boat building and repair business at Gannel in New Mill, Tring, on the Wendover Arm Canal, until their retirement in 1952. They also did general coach-building.
