This auction is for an absolutely incredible antique transit set. Set was made by C.L. Berger & sons. Dated April 28, 1896. Set consists of everything seen in the pics. Lots & lots of pics to load, so please be patient. Set consists of transit, wooden box, plumb bob, tripod, & long adjustable pole. I really know nothing about these or how they're supposed to work. So I'll give the best description that I can & you can e-mail me if you've got any questions. Everything seems to be in good order. Compass is marked: C.L. Berger & Sons Boston USA 6693 Patd April 28 1896. I believe 6693 is the model number, since this is also marked on the wooden box. Box has all sorts of papers applied- info on how to work & care for the instruments, etc. Box is stamped in black cursive writing, I cant make it out but I'm assuming its the name of the company that made the box. Box closes w/two latches & has a lock that looks like it works w/a skeleton key. Box has a leather strap on top for carrying. Inside of door holds brass plumb bob & some sort of magnifying glass ? . Set also consists of a solid oak tripod. Each leg of the tripod has the name BERGER incised or burned into it. I've shown a close-up photo of this. Set also consists of some type of extremely tall rod. It has measurements & some kind of adjustable marker circle. The numbers are starting to corrode or wear off a little. Again, I dont know a whole lot about this, so if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me. New Owner to pay for professional packing & shipping & insurance. Texas residents add sales tax. Cashiers checks and Money orders ship quickly. Personal checks take 10 days to clear. We also accept Paypal.

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.
