Welcome to Milkweed Antiques.
This sweet little handled basket of fruit is made from celluloid. The basket is iridescent green with a pink bow. There are 3 red apples, a pineapple, pears, purple grapes, and possibly a kiwi. The colors are a bit brighter than in my pictures. There is a metal pull that allows the cloth tape to be used. The spring is working perfectly and the tape retracts as it should. The tape is marked Japan. The celluloid is not marked. One side of the tape has inches, the other side has centimeters. This tape measure is 1-5/8" tall x 2-1/4" wide x 1-3/8" deep. I believe it was made during the 1930s.But this is the style of basket that was so popular in the 1920s.
This tape measure does not have any cracks or dents. The bottom shows some scuffs and scratches. There is some fraying to the tape edges. Please see my pictures. They help with the description. My price reflects the condition.
