Description

This unique instrument is signed in script on the compass face: "Henry Ware, Maker Cincinnati, Ohio". Ware began making instruments in Cincinnati in 1839, and this transit is one of his earliest. It has several unusual features: The standards are tilted inward at the top resulting in only a 3 1/2" telescope axis; the horizontal motion is GEAR DRIVEN; and the variation plate (also gear driven) is located outside the compass box. All tangents are either opposing screw or ball and socket. The 10 1/4" erecting telescope has "triangulation" type cross wires. This rare transit is in good working condition and retains the majority of its original lacquered brass finish. Buyer pays actual shipping and insurance charges, to be determined after close of auction. Payment by money order or cashier's check.
