Antique 1866 Inclinometer by the Patent Level Co. Bridgeport CT VERY RARE
Here is a true antique folks! This is an antique brass inclinometer I believe that was made by the Patent Level Company out of Bridgeport, CT. This is so rare, it probably should be in a museum somewhere. This brass piece has a very nice dark patina that is so beautiful. I did not want to polish it or anything like that. The glass is cracked and it would have been filled with some type of liquids. There is also drilling place in one of the stars above the eagle. I’ve seen this on another one of these and I think that would have been where they put the liquid in and it would have been plugged somehow. Thanks for looking and please check out our other listings! This item is in the category “Antiques\Maritime\Other Maritime Antiques”. The seller is “skensdepot” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.

1900-1916 Very Rare Wooden Cased Brass Abney Level Type Clinometer by Stanley
This is a very early and very rare level clinometer of the Abney type by Stanley in a bespoke antique wooden box with brass corners. This brass Stanley Level Clinometer was only made between 1900 and 1916 as it was updated for greater military use in WW1. However, this version is earlier and was used in the opening years of this dreadful war by Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery Officers looking for the best sites to place artillery units to bombard specific enemy positions. They preferred this type of clinometer as it was so easily transported and robust being brass. However, they were replaced and many of the original clinometers didn’t survive the war as their owners didn’t. As stated this Stanley clinometer is rare very rare now and it is in. Good condition considering it is an antique and has survived about 110yrs and probably at least one World War. The clinometer is stamped “Stanley, Great Turnstile, Holborn, London”, being. 13cms long and with the perfect level of patina for its antique age, adding to its genuine authenticity. It consists of a small telescope eyesight and an adjustable tubular spirit level, which is connected to a semi circular protractor scale and. Marked in both slope and degrees you to + or – 60 degrees. This allows the object to be sighted and the level bubble can then be seen. So the index can be accurately set and recorded. The pictures do not do it justice at all, but are important to show the condition. Please be patient, we promise to get your item to you as soon as humanly possible. I cannot guarantee when this will be but it will be as soon as we can under the current circumstances & restrictions.

Since you provide no proof that this tool was made by WM&Sons I can tell you that this’level’ was made by a few other manufacturers. In the 1909 WMSons Catalogue it is listed as Item# 2306’Best Spirit level, with Plumb and Field Sight’. I believe it was therefore used as a Surveyors implement. They were offered in 8, 9, 10 and 12 inch lengths. I have a couple of them. Your example shows that both’glasses’ contain clear fluid and this says that they are all original!

Tool Collector’s Prayer. Lord I ask for your help in controlling my tool collecting and things antique in general. Help me to choose wisely, avoiding things I cannot afford and to thin the things I do not need as they are everywhere, clogging all vertical and horizontal spaces and keeping me in trouble. My hobby is collecting, cleaning and restoring tools. My specialty is levels and hand planes but I have done other items as well. I have restored hundreds of levels and planes, including for major collectors and museums. In my descriptions you will find stories about how these came to be and possibly why they are important. I hope you find this site entertaining as well as a source for quality items for your enjoyment. Up for sale we have a rare 30 Antique Stanley No. 96 Brass Bound Machinist Plumb and Level in Rosewood with Strapped Brass Edges, Tips and Brass Top Plate. This was the nailed on brass bindings used until 1902 before the Stratton patent expired and Stanley changed most of their bindings to the dovetailed. Stanley also used the Handy Hold on the sides of all their levels at this point. This is also when Stanley first introduced brass screws on their machinists levels as scientists began to discover the effects of corrosion from dissimilar metals. The brass screws would not show up on standard production levels until during the 1920’s. These Stanley 30 No. The level is 30″ L x 1″5/16″ W x 3-1/8″ Tall. Please see pictures and ask any questions.

I hope you find this site entertaining as well as a source for quality items for your enjoyment. Up for sale we have a rare 28 Antique Stanley No. 96 Brass Bound Machinist Plumb and Level in Rosewood with Dovetailed Brass Ends and Brass Top Plate. This was the departure from the nailed on brass bindings used until 1902 when the Stratton patent expired and Stanley changed to the dovetailed with the difference being they went through the end plates where Stratton doweled them with the end plate covering the edge binding. Stanley also used the Handy Hold on the sides of all their levels at this point. This is also when Stanley first introduced brass screws on their machinists levels as scientists began to discover the effects of corrosion from dissimilar metals. The brass screws would not show up on standard production levels until during the 1920’s. This one sports the blued steel screws for the cover plates. These Stanley 18 No. The level is 28″ L x 1″5/16″ W x 3-1/8″ Tall and weighs in at a hefty 4# 9 oz. Please see pictures and ask any questions.

Tool Collector’s Prayer. Lord I ask for your help in controlling my tool collecting and things antique in general. Help me to choose wisely, avoiding things I cannot afford and to thin the things I do not need as they are everywhere, clogging all vertical and horizontal spaces and keeping me in trouble. My hobby is collecting, cleaning and restoring tools. My specialty is levels and hand planes but I have done other items as well. I have restored hundreds of levels and planes, including for major collectors and museums. In my descriptions you will find stories about how these came to be and possibly why they are important. I hope you find this site entertaining as well as a source for quality items for your enjoyment. Up for sale we have a rare 9 Antique Stanley No. 98 Brass Bound Machinist Plumb and Level in Rosewood with Nailed on Brass Binding, Full Brass End Plates and Brass Top Plates.

Stanley also used the Handy Hold on the sides of all their levels at this point. This is also when Stanley first introduced brass screws on their machinists levels as scientists began to discover the effects of corrosion from dissimilar metals. The brass screws would not show up on standard production levels until during the 1920’s. These Stanley 9 No. 98 versions sported the Type 6A Stanley Rule & Level Co.
