Description |
* Rare Telescopic MINING, SURVEYING Compass *
A very handsome 19th century mining compass, called a Hedley Dial, both silvered face and telescope signed by the famous makers, "Stanley London". This unusual and scarce form of instrument is illustrated in the 1902 book, The Evolution of Mine Surveying Instruments. It incorporates a beveled limb compass with two verniers to the railroad-type movement, two level bubbles in the compass box, a vertical arc attached to a full gimballed ring with telescope and level vial attached in wye yoke uprights
The instrument is in very nice condition with most of the original finish and the original 4-screw leveling base and tripod (the later two items typically missing from these instruments). A very attractive and uncommon mining instrument in very good condition. A new reprint copy of the book, The Evolution of Mine Surveying (a $75 book), will accompany this instrument to the new owner.

If you're the seller or the high bidder - now what?
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.
