Brass Builders Level, Tripod and Measuring Staff

1920 - 1940
Description

Made by Cooke Troughton & Simms Ltd for the Chief Engineers Department of the London County Council in around 1925 this completely original mahogany boxed builders level with hardwood tripod and extending 14 foot measuring staff must have cost a fortune when it was new.

It has service labels for 1930 - 53 on the lid, so if you wanted to recommission it I suspect it might need another.

In very good original condition.
