Today's Featured Tool Description
Harmon, J.W./Boston, Mass. : Magnificent Laminate Body Level. German Silver Fittin. Satinwood, Ebony &. Length: 15.50 Inches. An absolutely magnificent LAMINATED BODY LEVEL by J.W. Harmon, Boston, Massachusetts. This unused level has a body section fashioned from layers of mahogany, ebony and satinwood topped with a one-eighth inch laminate of ebony. The ebony top has dual inlays of mother of pearl, including one in the form of a shield. The top plate, which like the side plates, is fashioned from German silver, is also engine polished and imprinted with the Harmon circular logo. All of the original lacquer finishes remain on this pristine level and it is new condition, noting that one of the brass vial cover plates on the base has been replaced with a copper coin. Given Harmon's working dates of 1860 to 1907, it seems likely that this was produced for exhibition at an one of the many industrial trade exhibitions in that period. (FINE). This item was sold on April 26, 2014 for $4,300.00. jpg_file
