De-Liar Collection

This is my collection of Langley DeLiars. They were made in the 20th Century in San Diego, California. They combine a tape measure and a scale designed to keep lying fishermen honest. So they are called De-Liars. Most of them were given to fishermen as gag gifts, but the truth is they work well and weigh and measure accurelately. Some of the one's in the picture(at top left) are 50 to 60 years old.
