Circa 1915 Dietzgen Saegmueller Solar Transit +Xtras Wisconsin Power Co.

Nice example of an early Dietzgen Saegmueller Solar transit, the original blue finish and paint on both the transit and attachment are in great shape.  The optics and 3 wire cross hairs are fine, the motions turn smoothly, and it has the addition of desirable accessory a gradienter on the vertical slow motion tangent screw.  It comes with the original box and has a neat attachment method for securing the solar attachment in the box.  Only negatives I can see is there is a hairline crack in the objective lens that does not seem to affect the optics, and one of the little black balls on the vernier guards is missing, a black bead the same size could replace it.
