Love the item but not the price? Contact me with your best offer. Vintage Brunson Survey Transit with Original Dovetailed Box. This transit is in good condition for it's age but it does show wear. This transit does have some areas with paint loss, and it is a bit dirty. I've only wiped it with a soft dry cloth. There are some spots with may be surface rust or could be dirt. The optics appear to be in good condition and movement is very smooth. The wooden dovetailed box is marked Brunson on the top and contains a repair label on the inside dated 4/24/1975. The box has a completely weathered appearance and there is only part of the original leather carrying strap on each side. There is some staining on the top of the box which gives it character. The side of the box has some separation of the dovetail, which is pictured, but the box is still sound. Box contains 4 bits or tools inside to help calibrate or fine tune the transit. This transit was purchased from the original owner. He was unsure exactly how old it was but has used it up until last year, 2014, when he received a new one for Christmas. This transit is functional and would make a great gift for an engineer or surveyor and it also looks beautiful on display. Transit has the patent numbers 2208014 which was filed in 1938, and 2329978 which was filed in 1942. Brunson is a well respected name in the metrology business. Brunson has been around since 1927 and has made accurate measurement devices for property surveying, instruments that assist with alignment of navigational systems and submarines, and tools and techniques to help build air crafts and satellites. Brunson is still around today. In 1997 Brunson acquired their main competitor Cubic Precision which was formerly known as Keuffel & Esser, or K & E. Transit Measures: 18 inches long x 9 1/8 inches tall and Fits on a 3 1/2 x 8 tripod. Box Measures: 20 inches x 11 1/2 inches x 7 1/8 inches Transit Weighs: Just over 14 pounds Box Weighs: Close to 11 pounds I do try to describe items accurately and take pictures that document condition.

“Complete with box and tool kit. Optics look nice and clear. All gears and adjustments move smoothly. Includes metal lens cap and tool kit (see pictures). Dirty, dusty and scuffs here and there. Box has damage. Dovetails are separating (see pictures). Leather strap is missing. Box is still very sturdy and latches work. No cracks or breaks that I saw. Please see ALL pictures and read ENTIRE description before buying.”
