Dean Tape Measures
From Graces Guide
of London, E2.
Dean tape measures was started by Edward Dean in 1850. He started working with his father who was a carpenter making builder's measures and then became a "measure maker". He was joined by a partner called Lerro who added his name to Dean until he died and it reverted to Dean. I think Edward's son William then ran the company. It was taken over by Stanley in the 1980s.[1]
1931 'Dean's Tape Measures'. [2]
1986 Assets bought by Rabone Chesterman.[3]
