Lot #111: Vintage Bostrom-Brady No. 4 Survey Level – Brass & Steel Instrument with Original Wood Case

During the clean out of an estate sale, I found in the family room on a shelve a Vintage Bostrom-Brady No. 4 Survey Level – Brass & Steel Instrument with Original Wood Case. This survey level is a beautiful piece of American engineering history: a Bostrom-Brady No. 4 Contractor’s Level. Manufactured in Atlanta, Georgia. This instrument was designed for precision leveling in construction, grading, and foundation work. The condition of the survey level appears to exhibit normal wear and age. Therefore, the level should be professional cleaned and calibrated. Also I don't know, but the level appears to be missing the glass bezel. The optics appear clear and intact crosshairs but need some TLC. The level does not come with a plumb bob or tripod. Therefore, the level would be an excellent addition to Collectors of antique scientific instruments, surveying enthusiasts, or as a high-end industrial decor piece for an office or library.
