PRIMITIVE HANDMADE PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH CLINOMETER

PRIMITIVE HANDMADE PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH CLINOMETER C. 1820–1850. Primitive Pennsylvania Dutch handmade wooden clinometer with a wall-mount form with a rectangular case and extended shaped lower support. The face is hand-scribed with a circular degree scale and foliate compass-style motif, centered by a simple iron pointer, with additional engraved decoration including a stylized bird and leaf design below. Constructed of solid hardwood with a warm, natural patina, the case is fitted with a brass hanging mount to the reverse. The form and naive execution are consistent with rural Pennsylvania German workmanship, likely used for basic surveying, leveling, or incline measurement. Very good overall with typical age-appropriate wear. Minor staining and discoloration to the wood, particularly along edges and high points. The dial retains clear hand-scribed markings with light wear. Structurally sound and complete. Condition: (Excellent). Item Dimensions: 6" x 20". Condition:, Item Dimensions:
