Description
Offered for sale is an antique brass surveyor’s pocket inclinometer gauge with lovely time-worn patination. It’s unbranded but has the feel of a quality piece, so must have been manufactured by a top English maker. Measures 6.75 inches fully extended by 2 inches in height and its leather pouch fits it like a glove. The leather pouch has some embossing on it, but no maker’s name that I can find. All parts seem to move as they should, although I’m not 100% sure how one of these is used in practice by a surveyor and precisely how the end-piece extensions are utilised.
