This is a beautifully restored circa 1885 transit made by a maker that was only in business for a few years. Hernstein Price instruments rarely pop up for sale.

This transit has an 10 inch telescope and a 4.5 inc needle. The transit reads to 30 seconds (1 minute on the vertical arc), and all the levels have liquid.

The optics are nice with crosshairs - I did not see any stadia wires. The beautiful transit includes a gradienter which is a nice extra,

The transit comes with what I believe is its original box. The pictures show everything that is included.

The main blemish on this wonderful transit - a 1/4 inch scratch on the compass glass.
