Keen Kutter Steel and Simmons Hardware Leather Tape Measures

This old measure was used many times and has been worn down due to such. The Keen Kutter one seems to have withstood much more abrasive use than the leather Simmons Hardware one, despite them practically being made by the same company. The leather one probably pre-dates the 1900s, while the Keen Kutter is most likely a 30s measure.
