Wooden Survey Chain / Measure w/ LevelWooden Survey Chain / Measure w/ Level in Handle This is an interesting piece.  I am not sure if it is surveying related, or, but it sure looks like a surveyors chain, and the level in one handle indicates it was supposed to be held level if used on a slope. It appears it is made of some sort of fruitwood, and each leg measures  XX.  Laid out it measures XX.  It has no visible increment marks, or makers name or other ID.  It is very nicely constructed, and damage free. The consignor of this unusual rule has had it over 50 years and could never figure out exactly what it was for despite extensive research and exposure at tool club whats-it sessions.   A mystery!!

Sykes Hydrometer w/ 2 Ivory Slide RulesJosh Long Sykes Hydrometer w/ 2 Ivory Slide Rules / Proof Rules  This unusual set is English and for testing different liqueurs and alcoholic mixtures for their relative strength.  The rules are nice with just minimal warpage or discoloration.  The thermometer is mounted on an ivory slab as well and is OK.  All of the weights are present for the float as well.  This is an upgraded model and these can be found with just one rule, or with the rules made of boxwood as well.  It is a nice set in nice condition.

36 / Metric Rule36" / Metric Rule   This is an odd rule.  It looks like Metric on the outside, and inches on the inside.  Note where it ends on the last leg though, and yet it matches up with a rule in inches.  Different
