Most likely Federal or Naval design , circa 1919, which is 7 years after the Titanic sank. Called a straight switch. This switch is not far off in its' simularity with the switches used on the Titanic however. A great addition for the wireless enthusiast. Excellent undamged condition. No makers markings or model numbers. Base measures 3 " by 6 " inches.

Totally original and in the rough. This transit was recently bought in Texas and shipped to Ontario, Canada. Comes with the original dovetailed wood box as well. No wooden tripod, just the transit and the box. Has original brass lens cap and 2 other brass cylindrical pieces. The ivory or ivorine , bone lighting shield is cracked in 2 and needs fine gluing or repair. This is such an original find that the dust and dirt and dead wasp carcasses are still inside the box. No other damage to report but may be missing minor accessories. All the knobs are present and working, the compass works fine and all the levels are still full of water and functional. Made from 1890 - 1916 under this name , models changed in style and features over the years. A new transit such as this cost a kings ransom at about $250 a unit. Brandis were a top of the line transit made in Brooklyn , New York. There is one example of a Brandis & Sons transit in the Smithsonian Institute. That model is cleaned up but not restored to " as new " . Once you take the original patina off of the transit it cannot be changed. They look nice either way however. Restored models " as new " fetch about $2,500 + each , when you can find one. I haven't decided which way I want to go with this transit, but would be happy to just sell it as it is. Shipping might run a little high due to weight, but it is easily transportable. An amazing piece of American Engineering History. I've already had 3 or 4 experts look at the transit and all agree with the asking price. A rare offering and a surprizing find. Still untouched in any way since it was stored over 80 years ago. Please ask for more pictures if needed.

Measures 4 1/2 " tall by 1 " diameter. Excellent condition with polishing well done. This item has been used greatly and the threads to the cap are weak, however the top does screw down rather tightly still. Probably used for morphine needles. A very rare item as this item is rather custom made as opposed to being a military doctor's issue. Most likely a doctor's or medic's private practice item. Very rare.
