    When I first saw this at an auction and didn't know what it was but it was just so darn cool I just had to get it. When I figured out what it was I was even more into this piece. Everything is original from the tripod to the wooden carry case.
    I am looking for some help on getting info about the maker and possible value. Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!!!

      It still amazes me the accuracy that they achieved with these old instruments, love it but can't help you with info, good luck.
