This is a good used antique oil or oil tank gauge, with an all steel flexible tape measure and plumb bob that can measure up to 33 feet depth. It is marked on the tape section 'THE LUFKIN RULE CO. SAGINAW MICH. MADE IN U.S.A." and also "ATLAS" on the other end of the frame. The plumb bob is also marked "LUFKIN MADE IN U.S.A. NO. 590", and it is a correct plumb bob match to the tape. The tape is in inches, and is clearly marked in feet also, it's clean, not rusty, has a few minor creases in the flex-steel tape noted, a good swivel and spring latch at the end. The black painted handle appears to have some remain of an old label sticker on it, otherwise is very solid, and well attached, with some dings and scratches noted. The tape also has a unique finger operated brake that is made mostly of bronze, with rubber or leather brake pads to protect the steel tape as it passes through. The plumb bob is in super shape and has a removable tip on the end, and little serrations on the side for the purpose of marking where the oil level is in a low oil situation. Overall a very nice, clean, useable gauge!
