Couldn't load pickup availability
This vintage 1950s Aqua Survey and Instrument Company magnetic locator is a fascinating piece of surveying equipment history. Manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio, the instrument features a classic compass-style dial marked with cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) and degree markings, housed in a chrome-plated rectangular frame with a red needle indicator.
The device comes in its original top-grain cowhide leather carrying case, branded by Canadian Brass Ltd. and featuring an arrow compass design embossed on the cover. The case includes a leather shoulder strap, though it shows a break as noted. The instrument itself remains in good vintage condition with visible patina consistent with age and use.
A wonderful addition to collections of surveying tools, vintage scientific equipment, or industrial Americana. This piece represents mid-century American engineering and craftsmanship, ideal for the collector of vintage instruments, surveying memorabilia, or office/industrial decor enthusiasts.
