Presented is an advertising promotional premium from the Briell-Rodgers Cotton Goods Company. This 1 5/8" diameter retractable tape measure is silver plated with the company logo superimposed and surrounding a bale of cotton. Very little to be found on the Internet about this company. What I did find showed the company to have been located in St. Louis, MO. It was a manufacturer of uniforms. It was sold in 1963 and I do not know if the name was retained by the purchaser. The earliest reference I could find related to a lawsuit the company was involved in, in 1923. There is a maker's mark WHITEHEAD & HOAG in small letters just below the logo. Very Good condition. There is minimal silver loss from wear. The clip on the end of the tape has broken off and the tape has been bent to prevent total retraction into the case. There is a small crack at the opening of the case. The tape is whole and the numbers are all clearly visible. Check out my other items ! Be sure to add me to your favorites list ! JUST THE FACTS, MA'AM NOTES All silver will be hand polished before shipping. Will buff Sterling flatware, on request, for no additional charge (may delay shipping). Any damage or discoloration will be noted in the description. As I tend to over describe faults, it should look better than you expect when you get it. SHIPPING DISCOUNTS Always happy to combine multiple purchases if physically and safely possible. SHIPPING --CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES eBay's new shipping and fees policies have required the addition of a Shipping & Handling fee -- minimum $1.00. The S&H fee will include Delivery Confirmation on all packages, subject to USPS rules. Packages must be in excess of 1/4" thickness for delivery confirmation. For all purchases $25.00 and over, and all breakables, the S&H fee will also include USPS Insurance fees for the 'Estimated Closing Price'. Because of "Estimated Closing Price" and the all too frequent 'wild hair' that is eBay -- eBay's shipping calculator and actual shipping and handling costs ofttimes vary. An overcharge will be the result of this confusion. $2.00 or less will be treated as part of the handling fee. All other overcharges will be automatically refunded. I absorb all undercharges. I send out invoices thru the eBay system ASAP (usually within 24 hours) and will correct shipping charges on those invoices. If you wish to avoid a potential slight overcharge please wait for my invoice. I cannot be responsible for uninsured items once they are delivered to the Post Office. Items will generally ship within one day, but at most, two working days of cleared payment (i.e. a payment received on Thursday may not ship until Monday). SHIPPING AND DETAILS -- OVERSEAS I do not ship anywhere in Africa. Assume that I will not ship to any country in political turmoil. PayPal required for overseas transactions. A $3.00 handling fee is charged on overseas transactions to cover additional paperwork and packaging costs. This fee will be assessed only once in the case of multiple purchases. Overseas Priority and Express Mail have an inherent insurance based on weight and additional insurance can be purchased . This is also true for the larger Flat Rate boxes. First Class Mail International and Priority Mail Small Box Flat Rate do not include insurance and NO additional insurance can be purchased . Responsibility for an uninsured package will transfer to the buyer at the time I deliver the package to the Post Office. Customs declarations will be the price you paid. Items will ship within two working days of cleared payment (i.e. a payment received on Thursday may not ship until Monday). PAYMENT DETAILS An eBay system invoice will be sent within 36 hours of the close of sale. Contact information is sent with a secondary invoice. This invoice will be sent with the title: CONTACT INFO: (title of item listing) directly to your listed email. As a convenience to you I accept DISCOVER and MASTERCARD /VISA with no additional fees. (USA ONLY). Cash is accepted on local pickup items. Personal o... read more
