Maritime Brass Nautical Lobster Measuring Tool w/ Float

Here I have a lobstering measuring tool with a float. One area of measure is 5" the other is 3 3/16" and is marked S&SF at the end. I'm not sure what the current regulations on lobster size are but this a neat tool for decoration or displaying. The following is a discription of how it is used.The device used to measure the carapace of a lobster. If the carapace fits within the smaller (top) notch, the animal is too small to take. If the carapcae is larger than the larger (bottom) notch, it is an over-sized animal and may not be taken in Maine. 

 I will be shipping this piece in a 7" x 7" x 6" box with tissue, bubble wrap, and styrofoam peanuts at a shipping weight of less than a pound. When listing, ebay has you choose shipping weights. For example: 1-2 lbs., 2-3 lbs., 3-4 lbs. etc. for the shipping calculator.
