K & E #5003 Engineers Dumpy LevelK & E #5003 Engineers Dumpy Level   This 18" dumpy level is in like new condition.  It has a sticker on it indicating it was once part of the North Dakota University school system.  It looks to have spent most of its life sitting on a shelf in the storeroom there.  From the serial #118010 and using the dating chart i have provided a link to elsewhere on this page we can see that it was made in 1952.  It has a simple cross hair, and the optics are clear and bright. All motions are free, and it is ready to go back to work.   It will make for a great user  for line layout, corners, or other uses, or it will be a nice addition to the collection.
