Class: Other
Description:

Brass and aluminum construction overall with a height of 14 inches and a scope length of 11 1/4 inches with dual on-board focus adjustments, three spirit levels, four inch compass plane with lockout screw and dual fine readout windows, full adjustment/lockout capacity and a hand-leveled swivel base. With a Gurley case numbered to match the transit, detachable sunshade, small maintenance tools and a wood and brass tripod.

Rating Definition:

Very good showing 80% of the original black finish with areas of exposed bright metal and scattered handling marks. The optics are in good order, controls pass a basic function test, and the compass and spirit levels are in good shape. The case and tripod show wear appropriate to age. Tripod not compatible with transit.
