Antique W. Marples & Sons Sheffield 6” Ebony & Brass Bound Try Square Inv#HB130

Description

I am offering for sale this Antique W. Marples & Sons Sheffield 6” Ebony & Brass Bound Try Square Ca. 1863 Inv#HB130
It has the name W. Marples & Sons Sheffield 5 Reg'd EF 3835 on the front side. This mark is Ca. 1863.
The handle wood appears to be ebony, and it has an unusual feature that it has brass bound facing on all edges and a very attractive fancy escutcheon design on both sides.
Condition of the handle is very good,  it has a very faint owner name of "F. Webstein" etched on one side, with a variety of little dings and scratches on both the brass trim pieces and on the wood.  The metal rule is pitted and has a very small crack at tip (see last photo)
.
Blade and handle have a fine patina (color). It seems straight and true when looking down the top edge.
(see photos).
This is a great collectible & usable W. Marples Sheffield Try Square ready to add to your collection.
