This is an antique four fold 12 inch rule by J Rabone and Son made from ox bone I think or some similar natural material of animal origin , which I believe to be Victorian. I am however, no expert. The joints (which I think may be nickel or similar, they are rather pale for brass) move freely enough, the locating pin is still in place and judgeing by the slight rounding of the corners I imagine has had much use over the years. There is also some corosion by the centre joint. It weighs approx 30g. It has a lovely feel, I have tried to photograph every face and angle of the rule in order that you get an honest impression of its general condition.
