It consists of 100 individual links connected by iron rings, all 9 large brass tally tags (every 10 feet) - each shaped to indicate partial chain measurements, and two brass handles, both unmarked
This chain measures 66 feet in length which equals 4 ‘poles’ or ‘1 chain’
Edwin Gunter of England initiated its common use for measuring land boundaries in the early 1600s
I do not know the maker of this chain and it is possible it was made in America
