When to choose it
Choose the 2½-inch baren for a small stamp-sized proof or a tight pressure path. Its rounded knob sits over the disc. If a design is several inches wider, compare the four-inch bridge-handle version to cover more of the sheet in each pass.
The seller describes a wood body and felt-covered base. Compare the felt contact and smaller working face if you are moving from a plastic baren. For a larger sheet, keep it registered and overlap the rubbing zones so the edges receive attention.

Questions about this product
What does the smaller face change for a card-sized print?
It reaches less of the sheet in each pass. Plan overlaps or use the four-inch version for broader coverage.
Can I use it to check a single corner of a proof?
Yes. Keep the sheet registered while you apply pressure through the back at the area being checked.
How does its handle differ from the four-inch option?
This version has a rounded top grip. The four-inch model uses a bridge handle.
