Unusual Antique Rose Wood Clamp English * Circa 1860 This nice antique clamp is carved of beautifully grained rosewood. It has the original pincushion on top and the unusual addition of a tape measure. The tape has an unmarked silk ribbon tape and it winds in perfectly by turning the stem on top.
The wood is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or other damage. The clamp screw holds tightly along the length. It measures about 5" tall (with the... screw half way in). The more usual style of a rosewood clamp is shown on p. 153 of Nerylla Taunton's book Antique Needlework Tools and Embroideries.
