For the craftsman … a charming, century-old English brass and wood spirit level, marked “Moreton & Foster 1897”. The level is beautifully crafted, a joy to hold, and has a wonderful patina with a shine and surface reflecting its age. Clearly a favorite tool that was put to good use.
This is a functional item (vial and bubble are intact) but also one that would look marvelous on a desk, bookshelf, or side table. Perfect for the builder, woodworker, furniture maker, or anyone who appreciates century-old craftsmanship and tools that were built to last.
Morton & Foster were a well-known wholesale ironmonger in London from the early 1800s through to 1900 and beyond. Their customers included the Hudson Bay Company in Canada.
Dimensions: 6” x 1-1-1/4” x 1-1/4” Condition Notes: Indentations, small notches, tarnish, and general wear consistent with age. See photos for more detail or contact us with questions.
