Stratton Brothers 6" Brass Bound Rosewood Level
This is one of the hardest to find of all the
levels that Stratton Brothers put out. The bubbles are good and appear to
be original. With a simple refinishing this level could be made to look like
a million dollars, or leave it as is with its dents and dings, it will
still display very nicely!

Disston
12" Brass Bound Mahogany Level
This is a very unusual size and configuration level
by a company much better known for their saws and other cutting tools than the marketing
and manufacture of levels. It is in overall great condition, and if a fellow
knew how to rehab the lacquer finish without calling it refinished this would be
a real gem, as that is where the majority of wear is , just in the finish.
The edges and the details in the handy flutes are still crisp and nearly wear free.
It is very nice right now, just the way it is, or if your good at this sort of thing,
it could become a real standout for the collection.

Chapin
Stevens #036 Rule Level Bevel Architects Combination Rule / Tool
This rule was designed to perform a host of
functions related to the architectural and building fields. It is one of the
most complex and graphic rules that was ever produced in America. This
example is in super condition while noting that the previous owner has carefully
stamped his initials A H into one side between the 10 and 11 mark. The level
bubble is good and the steel bevel arm has just some minor staining. It is
in collector condition, with tight joints, very clean and ready to be
displayed on your shelf .

5 Brass Bound Mahogany & Rosewood Levels
4 of these are Stratton Bros. The second small frame ones is marked 11 1/2 a number I have not seen before. The other is a #10. The front short frame is a Disston that was likely made by Stratton. All of these are pretty nice. Tow of these have price tags on them indicating the collector paid me 100 each for them close to 20 years ago. When you think about that and listen to them say there is no inflation you could believe it, but then you think it cost me 3 times the amount in fuel costs, and probably that much more for lunch as well, and weren't mechanic's only charging 40 / hour back then and 100 or so now. No inflation ----- only if your not playing or eating any more. A good buy!! and at prices seen 20 years ago.Good
