This is an Antique W. & L. E. Gurley Surveyor\'s Brass Transit with Brass base, Brass lense cover, Brass Plumb Bob, and wood Storage Box.
This Transit is in very good condition. All the adjustment knobs turn properly. The Box is solid and in very good condition for an old storage box. The box has a lock and looks to take a skeleton type key. I DO NOT have the key. The Plumb Bob has a storage holder inside the box at the front left corner.
I had to play with the scope focus for a little while to figure it out and get a clear focused picture. There appears to be some cloudiness, probably needs to be cleaned, but I got it to focus pretty nicely without a tripod. The picture of the trees in through the scope, using my cell phone in one hand, while tilting up the scope towards some distant trees. It was on a cloudy day at dusk. So that should give you an idea of the scope condition.
The Transit is about 20\" long. The Transit on the base is about 8\" tall. The diameter of the base is about 4 1/2\". The Transit and base weigh just over 13 LBS together. The Box is about 22 1/2\" long, 9 1/2\" tall by about 6\" wide.
Most of the items I sell are estate finds, and arepresented to you in, as is, as found condition. They are described to the bestof my knowledge. Some wear is to be expected, unless described as flawless ormint. I can\'t know everything about every item I offer, I do inspect each itemand list all known flaws or damage. So please take a good look at the photosand ask questions if need be.
Thanks for looking!
