Queen & Co. Phila. German Silver Protractor   This is a very nice draftsman, surveyor or map makers piece by the renowned early maker from Philadelphia Pa.  There is some mild corrosion at the screws from use of dissimilar metals, and some light tarnish, but I believe that this would clean if you wanted to.    The Makers name and all of the scales are nice and easily readable.  Unusual, and nice!    Click for Pic         Click for Pic

Dietzgen Cast Iron Paperweights / Inkwells   These were patented and are marked Dietzgen on the bottom.  K & E also offered similar things.  They could be mounted to the drafting table, or used loose as they are cast iron and heavy enough to keep the paper down when used as paperweights.  There are no glass containers for the ink wells.   Click for Pic        Click for Pic      Click for Pic
