Antique 1850s Hall & Knapp Rosewood Caprenters Level 29.5\" Stanley New Britain:
$150.00
Antique Hall & Knapp rosewood carpenters level from the 1850s. Hall & Knapp were in business together in New Britain Connecticut from 1853 -1857, at which point Stanley bought them out so that it could enter the level business. It is neat to think about how much the world has changed since this was made. When it was new Abe Lincoln was best known as a hotshot lawyer from Illinois, slavery was the dominant issue in American politics, and the transatlantic telegraph was under construction, but years away from completion.
Overall condition is good for its age. Level is 29.5\" long and had brass ends. Both vials are intact. The Hall & Knapp makers mark is faint, but but legible. The brass parts are free of significant corrosion or damage. There are a few small chips in the rosewood body along its top edges. I have included closeup photos of the worst two.
