Transit by Starrett

Description

Transit-
Offered is a vintage surveying transit & tripod by Starrett.  The protractor dial is marked "L.S. Starrett Co, Athol, Mass, USA, Made in USA".  Do not find a part #, cast iron base has 6 digits covered with japanning that I cannot make out.  Has brass tube level with a good bubble.  Plated brass scope has over 2 1/4" focus adjustment & does focus well & clear with good cross hairs.  Base retains fair amount of original japanning with bob hanger but no bob.  Tripod legs adjust from 30 -53".  Two of the tripod locking thumb screws are replacements.  All three tripod legs have braze weld spots on them where they connect to the base, look to be for locking the joints in place rather than a repair.  Protractor has the arm stop.  Looks to be a pretty nice old transit.
