Description


With it's 7 inch diameter face ~ this is the largest of the W. & L. E. Gurley Surveyor's Compasses.

This beautiful example is in remarkable condition, extremely clean with very little wear or patina to it's original lacquer.



In addition to the pair of 8 inch sites, plumb bob and adjusting tool, this compass comes with a 8 1/2 inch telescope designed to attach to either of the sites. With the addition of this scope, Surveyor's could use this instrument as a accurate transit as well.





The telescope is in good condition with clear optics. It comes with a lens cap. The brass has a rich patina which exhibits some wear and scratching to it's lacquer.



The compass has a 6 inch blued steel needle and is engraved W. & L. E. Gurley, Troy, N.Y. at the North Position. East & West are reversed, the 2 bubble levels are in excellent condition and the Vernier Scale rotates smoothly.




The compass measures 15 1/2 inches across and has a ball and socket for use with a tripod or jacob's staff.



The wooden case is in good condition with Gurley Label, working key and sturdy leather strap, there is a large splinter of wood missing from the left side of the case. This beautiful and complete Compass outfit also comes with a fitted brass face plate.

Details for the seller and high bidder(s):
The seller should contact the winning bidder(s) with information on the total cost, including shipping, and where to send payment. The winning bidder(s) must pay the seller directly for the item(s), and it is the seller's responsibility to fulfill the order when payment terms are met. The binding contract of the auction is between the winning bidder and the seller.

If the seller is unable to establish contact with the high bidder within 3 business days of the end of the auction, he/she may lose the place as winning bidder, and be at risk for receiving negative feedback and/or a Non-Paying Bidder warning, both of which can ultimately lead to suspension from eBay.
