    Description

    Very EARLY Stanley No. 85-1/2 BIG Panel Marking Gauge / Scribe / Gage - SCARCE!
    A BEAUTIFUL old scribe in GOOD CONDITION!  With a 20-1/2" stem and a 7" face, this is ONE BIG MARKING GAUGE!!
    Rosewood with brass trim.  Dating to the 1870s.  Unmarked but unmistakably Stanley.  Likely predates Justus Traut's August 5, 1873 patent for the adjustable depth point.  Note the decorative brass washer inlaid on the head under the thumb screw.  This "fancy" trim is found only on the very earliest Stanley marking gauges.
    This outstanding example, with its lovely old patina is quite a beauty.  It has been lightly cleaned to high collector standards.  The brass has NOT been polished.  The original finish is intact and "toolbox" dinging and scratching is minimal.  And the often missing
    brass shoe is in place
    .
    Beyond just being the beautiful objects that they are, these big marking gauges are particularly handy for making repeat markings as well as for scribing lines.  And they sure do look good hanging up over your workbench.  Why not have an important early example with the extra trim?  Buy It NOW!!!
