A vintage wooden anthropometric instrument, likely a large-scale caliper or height gauge, constructed from a dark-stained hardwood, possibly mahogany?. The set comprises a long, graduated measuring bar and a pair of matching L-shaped base blocks. The measuring bar features a stamped numerical metric scale in centimetres, with visible markings from 62 to 88. A sliding cursor mechanism is mounted to the bar, featuring a tapered horizontal arm and a circular adjustment knob crafted from dark resin? or turned wood. Each of the two companion wooden blocks is incised with the word Joyce in a black Fraktur-style font. The blocks are weighted and feature felt-lined bases.
