Fifth edition. Quincy, IL: Rood Magic Scale Co., 1888.

Softcover 8vo, 32pp. Pattern diagrams throughout. Faded name on the front wrap and a few scraps of paper with drafting notes including for "father's shirt" and "mamma's measure." Good condition with moderate edgewear and offsetting from the inserted scraps. The Rood Magic Scale was a solid triangular measure with curves cut from the interior—a sort of reverse French curve, if a bit clunkier in form. The device was sold with basic instructions and additional "advanced" studies could be ordered by mail.
