Description:
This chain is half the length of a standard Gunter's chain: it has 50 links, each one being 7" in length. The whole chain measures 33 feet, or 2 poles. Four brass tags—known as tallies—mark every 10 links: two are in the shape of rabbit ears, and two in the shape of lance points. One swivel also marks the 25th link. Links are joined one another by means of two small rings. This is most likely an American instrument.
