Pending Sale
Description:
This is a 1914 K&E architects level model
number 5110. This instrument has most of the original finish on it and
appears that it was not used all that much in the field. This instrument
comes with the trivet plate with all three feet, and the wooden case.
These were used by builders for doing grading work. I have
included images below of the original specs for this instrument that were
found in the K&E catalog pages.
If you want a great little instrument in your collection than this is the
one for you.

1909 Keuffel & Esser U.S. - C.G.S Precise Level
These levels were designed by the US Coast &
Geodetic Survey around 1900.
$795.00
Description:
This is a nice K&E US-C.G.S. Precise Level model #5027. These
were designed by the Coast & Geodetic Survey around 1900 and built by
several different makers. This is an early K&E version made in 1909.
It has the lighter color as the later models came in black. None of
the different makers made a lot of these as it is considered a specialized
type of instrument. Since these instruments are so specialized it
makes them difficult to find if you are looking to add a unique instrument
to your collection.
This instrument is heavy weighing around 25lbs. and measures about 16" long.
The design of this instrument calls for it to be made out of Nickel iron and
Nickel steel which is why it is so heavy. These two components have a
very low expansion/contraction rate of less than .000004 per degree of
Centigrade. It also has a built in micrometer to make the instrument
even more accurate than the plain Dumpy or even Wye levels of the time.
These are great collectables and if you want a unique instrument than this
one is for you.
