Description: | A fragment of a Post Medieval wood and copper alloy hinge from a wooden folding measure dating to the 16th - 17th century. One side of the hinge is broken and missing and the other half is still attached to one end of the wooden measure. The hinge consists of three copper alloy plates; two close together and the third set further apart. These plates fit into slots in the wood and two rivets are fitted through the side of the wood and the plates holding them in place. The plates rotate around a central copper alloy column in the hinge. The wood is fragmentary but is inscribed "19---" along the mid line and there are transverse incisions at regular intervals (3.30mm) along the lower edge. Dimensions: length: 41.46mm; width: 12.82mm; thickness: 5.86mm; weight: 5.32g.Identification and dating by Tony Pilson and Ian Smith based on foreshore context
