12 inch antique J. Rabone and Sons engineers cast iron spirit level. Likely dating to 1920s. The level is of a good weight and feels comfortable to hold via the hand grip. The level has a brass plate at the top with J Rabone and Son, Made in England, where there is a spirit bubble in glass which is in working order.
The main body of the level is cast iron with ornate iron work and which was painted in black. The black paint clearly visible but is chipped and worn due to age and usage. There were two further spirit bubbles in brass in the main body. One original brass bubble is still in place but the glass is broken and the bubble empty, the retaining screw is still present. The other brass bubble is missing and so is it's retaining screw.
The level might suit someone who would wish to renovate this old antique tool which my father had kept for a long time.
From a family workshop collection.
