Up for auction is a very nice Wm Marples & Sons brass and rosewood mortice gauge.  The Marples company was active in Sheffield UK from the late 1700 till the company was sold in 1962.  The gauge is in very good condition with the turnscrew slide working as it should.  Both pins are in good condition (see photo). I believe it to be in good working condition.  If you have any questions or would like additional photos, please ask before bidding.  We are always glad to combine shipping for multiple purchases.  eBay calculates the shipping cost so if it looks out of whack, contact me for correct shipping cost based on actual weight and your zip. Also depending on your state, eBay may collect sales tax.  If you are a non U.S. buyer, please ask for shipping costs BEFORE bidding so that you are not surprised.
