Description
A magnificent very early and complete, all original Gurley Surveyor's compass in original wooden case with original tripod. Large 7.0" face with original crystal and brass cover intact. Face is engraved with the Gurley name and "Troy NY". Label inside lid is near perfect and reads: "W and LE Gurley Instruments Manufactory established 1845 (factory engraving shown) also: W & L E Gurley Civil Engineers and Surveyors Instruments, Troy NY". Case is intact and has what appears to be all fixtures for the two level compass. Original tripod with brass fixtures is included with this auction!

Condition: wooden case and tripod have normal use and age wear scratches. Compass is overall very clean with no repairs or damage seen. Minor age patina but no major corrosion seen. Could be polished easily to new condition. Though not experts , we believe this instrument is complete, but are selling it as-found, as-is. Case has holders for tripod swivel ball and leather straps, as well as the two vertical brass sights (2). No key to case lock. A very early Gurley instrument! Heavy weight and fine quality ! Please!
