K
& 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.
