This early 20th. century "Mountain"
Transit is signed on the compass face: " Kolesch & Co. 2936 New
York". The firm was established in 1885 when Heinrich and Percy
Kolesch purchased the F. Eckel Co. This small transit--"Pioneer"
model as shown in the pic of the Kolesch catalog (not included)--
has an 8 1/2" erecting telescope with excellent optics and the
crosshairs in place. The compass needle is about 3 3/4" in length,
and the horizontal limb reads to one minute on the vernier. All
motions move freely, and the instrument is in good working
condition. This is a complete outfit, with original tripod, box,
sunshade, and lens cap. Buyer pays actual shipping charges to be
determined. Payment by money order, to be paid within seven days of
close of auction.
