Rare Dean Lawn Tennis Court Tape Measure.
This useful tool is made of two halves of leather sewn together to create the body of the measure. Inside is wound 78' of canvas tape marked in feet and inches around a brass winding mechanism. This wonderful lawn tennis tape measure was made by Dean Bedington, London, and has the DEAN trademark. The paper label applied to the front shows the measurements of a singles and doubles lawn tennis court with the net height and post positions. Anyone with a lawn large enough could purchase a complete boxed set with the necessary equipment and set up a lawn tennis court. This was a vital piece of equipment to mark out an accurate court on your own lawn.
