I have a little 6' steel tape in a round chrome case made by John Rabone and Sons, this means it pre-dates 1963 when they took over Chestermans to become Rabone and Chestermans which are still going today albeit owned by Stanley. They made/make higher end carpentry tools and John Rabones were established in 1817 just making measuring tools before they bought out chestermans.
