#10 Stratton Brothers 6" Brass Bound Rosewood Level#10 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!        Good ........ $595.00      SOLD

 

Disston 12" Brass Bound MahoganyDisston 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.   Good+ ....165.00      SOLD

 

Chapin Stevens #036 Rule Level Bevel Architects Combination Rule / ToolChapin 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 .     Good + ....$225.00      SOLD

 

 

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+ ........ $395.00 / Lot        SOLD!
