[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 121695, member: 360"]I don't understand why there's a hook at the bottom? It WOULD throw off you measurements, wouldn't it? Unless... What else might this be used for? And if it IS a dipstick, wouldn't it be covered in stains and such, from all the times it was used? Has it been restored in any way (not that I see there being a market for restored, antique dipsticks...)? According to the photograph, it's 24in (two feet) long.
