Superb Charles Taintor “Taintor’s Framing Square Bevel”

Elizabeth, New Jersey • Patented May 18, 1910

A superb example of Charles Taintor’s Framing Square Bevel, manufactured in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and protected under the May 18, 1910 patent. This ingenious tool incorporates an angle divider along with multiple additional layout and measuring functions, making it one of the more inventive and mechanically interesting early‑20th‑century combination tools.

This example is crisp, clean, and far better preserved than most surviving specimens. The markings are strong, the mechanism operates smoothly, and the overall presentation reflects careful use and long‑term preservation.

A standout, top‑tier example of a scarce and highly collectible patented layout tool from Charles Taintor—one that rarely appears in this condition.
