15" L.
L. Davis Salesman Sample / Display Model #6 Mahogany Level This is a rare level!! It is marked
#6 and is
15" long. The back side is factory
cut away to show the prospective customer or tool buyer how L. L. Davis was
going the extra mile in the design of the vial holders offered in their line
of wooden levels with adjustable vials. The top plate is marked with the patent date of March
17 1867. One of the brass end plates is marked with the model #
6.
The overall condition is very nice with a few stray scratches in the
original finish. There are remains of the original paper label, but it
is not readable. Different RARE & Nice!!

L. Davis Adjustable Spirit Level 12 Inch Inclinometer Info on the front
dial plate. One Patent Date. Early mark. This 12"
Davis Inclinometer Level looks to me to have been restored. Look at the pics
showing the corners. There are crack lines that are either a repair or
the corners are still in place because they run past just the corner and into
the frame. Initially I thought it was original, but now think it is restored
and has been repainted as well. Nice job, but in the words of
our great Leader, "it is what it is"
