Cam across a level like I've nere seen
24" Stanley carpenters level made of cast iron with brass bubble protector that spun around the glass tubes for protection during storage/transport. In aboslout perfect working order. Almost felt like workout equipment.

The old cast iron ones are sure built to last. I started out carpentry 20 years ago with an old cast iron sands level. I remember the inscription on it"Sands levels are built ot last". That was no joke!
