Take a glimpse at, IMHO, a rare precision tool circa 1880-85.
This is a 4 inch long C. F. Richardson, Athol Mass level that sold yesterday, 10/06/08 on eBay for $515!
Now take a look at this 4 inch Richardson level:
I bought it years ago years ago for $25 and it would sell today for maybe $35.
That protective bar on the first version is what makes it so valuable. I have a number of Richardson levels, but have never seen his trademark protective bar on a level less than 8 inches long.
Anyone got a short version with the bar? Rivett??
