Please read the entire description and review all photos carefully! Up for sale is the pictured United States Corps of Engineers mobile draft set including wood sketch board model 1913 produced by Burke & James Inc. Eastman Kodak Co tripod and mount, Smith & Wesson clinometer, Superior Magneto Corp. Compass, and two folders of blank drafting sketch sheets all in a metal latching briefcase produced by the McFarlan Motor Co circa 1918. The latching case is in rough condition with various dents and rusting to the exterior, but the leather handle is intact. The interior folding tray and leather grip are in good working order and there is a molded wood storage compartment for various components beneath it. The sketch board has a short and shallow crack near the bottom and its bottom face is partially discolored as shown in the later photos. Its compass is missing one screw that has exposed it to the elements, however the locking mechanism still works. Similarly, while both clinometer and compass appear to work, their interiors have been exposed to the elements over time. The compass in particular has a moisture stain and collection of fine silt under its bubble. The entire tripod assembly is present and functioning with the exception of one folding leg that has cleanly broken off at the hinge (shown in photos). All brass components have some amount of discoloration. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or further photo requests, and thanks for looking!

ONE OF A KIND. Ultra rare military artillery periscope with accessories and original wooden box. 10 X 40 lenses. This is the rarest and tallest field periscope ever made by Carl Zeiss. Only periscope (excluding tripod and goniometer) has a height of 1.15 meters and it can be extended to an height of 1.85 meters. This instrument can reach more than 3.5 meters when used in the tripod. There are usual Carl Zeiss models as manual monocular periscopes (to be used with no tripods), the trench binoculars (called donkey hears) or the binocular periscope made during the cold war and used in the Berlin wall. But this one is really impossible to find and, with to doubt, the rarest artillery periscope made by Carl Zeiss. Really impossible to find and may be exclusively made for the Argentinan army (this is the second one i see, and both made for the Argentinian army). Only periscope, excluding tripod and goniometer, weight more or less 30 lbs. Wooden case with metal locks is extremely solid and heavy and has two metal handles to be carried for two persons. Accessories on case are all originals and includes three stakes to keep this tall periscope firm, stable and centered thank to a bronze rotating ring with three holes to attach to each stake with a rope. It includes a foot with column to use it at ground level, an angular stick with screw to use it in a tree and an orange filter (signed by Carl Zeiss and the Argentinian army). If you want to place this instrument correctly, you need a huge area of more or less 4 x 4 meters to use stakes with a metal rope (i only used tripod on pictures, but if you use stakes it will look even more spectacular). Each steel stake has a hole to introduce a rope and a screw to lock it. Which makes it easy to give the rope just the right tension. This instrument has an impressive and original military tripod and a goniometer (both uncased) in perfect working order signed by the Argentinian army (both parts made by Carl Zeiss, but not signed by Zeiss). This amazing periscope has two handles to move it horizontally, and you can move it vertically turning same handles (as a motorcycle). It has two reels in handles with a strap to move mirror on top vertically (all working). So it is incredibly practical and simple. It has been made during 1920 s´ (Nedinsco era) and it has the serial number 1003. Periscope has been oiled and lenses, prism and mirror are in perfect condition so this instrument is completely operative. Vision is clear with small points of dust. It has been cleaned but not restored. It preserves its original antique condition and the original black paint on tube is in amazing condition considering its age. Of course it is a very old instrument so it shows signals of use, but overall condition is amazing considering its age. All is completely functional (even circular level is working). Tripod with extended legs and goniometer have an height of 1.70 meters so complete instrument can reach more than 3.5 meters. Tube diameter is 65 millimeters. All defects not mentioned but visible in the pictures will be considered as described. If you have any question, do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your visit.
