[AT] Woodworking level

[Tom Thal]

Dean, I have been to that a few times, including 2013 when I set up at the swap meet and sold some Farmall parts. It seemed like fewer tractors showed up during over the years. The stationery engines seemed to be more predominant. What was your experience?

Subject: [AT] Woodworking level

Went to an Antique Tractor show in Cottonwood, AZ which was a bit of a bust but did make a score or two at the swap meet. One that I’m hoping someone on the list can point me in the right direction to find more information about.  It is a 48” Brass and Mahogany Wood Working Level that is in pretty darn good shape with no broken glass and all vials seem to be working properly.  It is made By American Level Manufacturing Co. Detroit, MI and appears to be model 60302 that is engraved in the wood.  It appears the company may have been held by a Foreign Holding company which is no longer in business. My plan is to try to restore the Brass and the Mahogany wood back to as close to original condition as possible.  And just probably just make a wall hanging out of it. But now that I own this I am curious if there is anything more to learn about this level.   Google searching has not been very successful. Ay ATIS list members into this kind of stuff who could direct me to where I might find out more info? I didn’t spend much purchasing this but it appeared to me to be something that would restore well and has an old world craftsman look to it.
