Description from the seller

Old collimator/inclinometer level, portable “Inadjustable – Registered Model,” a precision instrument intended for surveying, geodesy, leveling, and inclination measurement. Beautiful antique construction in brass and blackened metal, featuring an internal optical system with a reading window and knurled adjustment elements. This compact instrument was used by surveyors, engineers, and public works professionals for field surveys and slope control. A beautiful antique scientific piece showing a natural patina, brass wear, and signs of use consistent with its age. An interesting item for collectors of topographic, geodetic, scientific instruments and old engineering equipment. Suggested dating: around 1880–1910.
