RARE SCOTTISH brass surveyors level in original dovetailed wooden box by ALEX MABON & SONS, GLASGOW. Fine quality mid 20th century scientific instrument by an unusual Scottish maker. Both the level and the box fully marked up.
Comes complete with its original wood and brass tripod stand but I think the legs have been shortened for table standing.
