This rolling rule is in excellent condition commensurate with age. Nickel-silver surface in aged condition but without any significant marks. Rolling mechanism functions perfectly. Extremely minor knocks and marks external to case. A few age cracks to the mahogany case which remains in very good and solid condition. Please see images as these form an important part of the description.
