surplus tech gear
Looks like good stuff here. I'm not really interested in these items but since you bring this up, I am interested in purchasing the following types of old forestry equipment: 1. Professional level compasses made before 1950. Especially staff compasses complete with the ball and socket mount and case. Also old Jacobs staffs and light tripods made for these compasses. 2. Old board and log rules with burned in numbers, especially those made by the Lufkin Rule Company. Not interested in modern painted number rules with polyurathane. 3. Forestry texts published before 1930 in excellent condition. 4. Topographic scale Abney Levels with a case. 5.Old clinometers such as the Faustmann height measure, Weise height measure, Christen Height measure, Klaussner height measure, Winkler height measure, or Brandis Height measure. 6. Chain tape in link measure on wooden windup reel made by Lufkin or Dietzgen. 7. Any other old (pre-wwII) forest management equipment.

Your list sounds like the stuff in my colleges forestry tool room thirty five years ago but I'm not familiar at all with those clinometer scales. Could you describe them? Who'd have ever thought that Abneys and staff compasses would become collectors items. And metal chains - I'm used to the two-chain trailer tape. Who still knows how to throw one? One can occasionally find old Columbia and other scale sticks in antique stores out here. Saw a water stick just recently that must have been 9 feet long. |
