A.
V. Shorts Patented 1905 Wooden Level / Inclinometer
These unusual levels are typically found as just the metal gizmo portion because they were sold that way to be inserted into a stock of the makers choosing or design.
This one is mounted on a 48" piece of cherry that has been refinished.
A bit glossy for my tastes. It could easily be toned down. I think they were also produced in the style stock show with the cutout scallops to either side of the unit. I have seen this same make up in different sizes. The unit is very nice with all four of the bubbles and the worm drive adjuster, while stiff, works well. Different & Nice!!

Chapin
Stevens / Tower Lyon Level w/ Wood Patent Pop - Up Sights
Some of the info on the top plate is hard to make out. There is the
1887 Wood's patent for the sights, but there is another patent date above
that from 1870. Used but OK. These do not turn up all that
often.
