Old, Unique or New

Actually, it has more value in the condition that it is in now.. if you clean up the patina on the brass, you will have destroyed the value greatly.

Thanks! That's a good thing to know! Instead of a refurb, I should duplicate :))

Darling, Brown & Sharpe Scale. Samual Darling ended his partnership with B&S somewhere around 1896 so this one is an oldie.

The level was given to me by Ray, I had already put it together before I found my camera.. I was able to keep the original white background paper and the lil strips of wood that was behind the paper.. Used plaster of paris to keep the new bubble in place. I have not had it regulated yet.. but I think that I have it pretty close.

Just picked up the other measuring device down at the scrap yard.. picked it up for a buck.. It is a Carson mug..

It is neat to see all of the various machining tools from the past, however it is sad to think that not many people here in the US will know what these things are in another 15 to 20 years probably.

Thank you all for sharing with us!
