ITEM DESCRIPTION

Vintage “The Parisian Skirt Gauge”.  Patented July 17, 1906.  Manufactured by Torchon Lace & Mercantile Co. St Louis, MO.  This item shows minor signs of wear appropriate for age of item.  Overall, the skirt gauge is in very good condition.  The base is cast iron and provides a solid foundation for the skirt gauge.  The base does not wobble and is not damaged.  The metal rod that supports the skirt gauge arm is threaded on one end.  This end still screws into the base smoothly.  The metal rod is nearly 11 inches long and has inch and half inch graduations from 1/2 inch to 10 inches.  The arm of the skirt gauge is “L” shaped and parallel to the ground.  The arm is held in place by a thumbscrew that still moves freely through its full range of motion.  The thumbscrew fits into a groove that runs the length of the metal rod to help prevent the arm from moving during use.  This would make a nice addition to any sewing collection or dress making memorabilia.  This item weighs almost 2 pounds, and will weigh between 2 and 3 pounds after packed for shipping.
