pig measuring

Still sorting out the office and various cupboards to make more space for our growing family (growing as in 'stuff' not as in more kids!). Came across this amazing little thing that we salvaged from an old house. Small metal pig measuring tape - you use the tail to wind it back in again! The kids thought it was fantastic. It's over 100 years old and we just can't part with it, although it doesn't seem right to hide such a beautiful and fun thing away only to be looked at once every few years.
