Another Great Auction
A collection of vintage and antique items comprising various scientific instruments, tools, and domestic objects. The lot includes a professional drafting instrument set within a blue velvet-lined black textured case, containing several steel and nickel-plated dividers, compasses, and ruling pens. A small mahogany-finish wooden box houses a partial set of metal scale weights and a pair of tweezers. Measuring equipment includes several wooden multi-folding rules and a yellow-toned slide rule. An engineer’s directional compass is present, featuring a circular metal case with the cover embossed ENGINEER DIRECTIONAL COMPASS. Also included is a circular brass-toned instrument with concentric scales, likely functioning as a perpetual calendar. Workshop and sewing tools consist of a wooden-handled tracing wheel, a curved blade knife, and a small folding multi-tool with decorative green and red inlays. Domestic items feature a manual tabletop coffee mill with a wooden body, brass-toned hopper, and crank handle, bearing a plaque inscribed COFFEE. A faceted glass inkwell with a metal lid is present, alongside two decorative boxes: one in polished hardwood with a leaf carving and another rectangular box with a repeating geometric pattern. Further items include a retail card of six ornate metal button covers and a small cream-coloured figurine bust.
