A very rare and cleverly designed Art Deco tape measure in sterling silver dating to c1920. The end of the tape is attached to a silver mouse. When it retracts it pulls the mouse partially inside the tape measure housing, which is decorated with four mouse traps. The tape seems somewhat delicate and only pulls out to six inches, though there appears to be more tape inside.
