Wonderful Circa 1854 Burt & Bailey Solar Compass – Yosemite

By
Comments Off on Wonderful Circa 1854 Burt & Bailey Solar Compass – Yosemite
This is a really neat Circa 1854 Burt & Bailey Solar Compass that was almost certainly used to survey Yosemite National Park and San Francisco’s Hatch Hetchy Reservoir. The Canvas bag is AMAZING – stenciled on top of the bag is U.S.D.S. Y.N.P. (United States Deputy Surveyor Yosemite National Park). Can you imagine the pride that Drenzy Jones, the U.S. Deputy Surveyor and owner of the Solar Compass, must have felted when he stenciled that on top of the canvas Read More...

It’s probably not the Hurtin Minute Compass I’m offering here, but the compass and the painting are both simply fantastic (the painting is NOT included in my offering). My Hurtin Minute Compass is both Gorgeous and Sophisticated. Hurtin was a master engraver, and his compasses exhibit a unique look that demonstrate Hurtin’s exceptional Read More...

Fascinating Circa 1900 K&E Transit Expertly Modified By U.S. Military

Comments Off on Fascinating Circa 1900 K&E Transit Expertly Modified By U.S. Military
Here is a really interesting instrument. This instrument started its life as a K&E Transit with serial number 3426, and was likely made in the late 1890s. I suspect the U.S. Military purchased this transit when new and transferred the transit to Frankford Arsenal, which was the Military’s R&D center back in the day. Frankford Arsenal swapped out the K&E standards and telescope and installed a Frankford Arsenal Panoramic Sight. The sight used the military’s system of mills (6400 mills Read More...
