Level question and thinly veiled gloat.

>Had a 6" level follow me home today.It`s brass bound rosewood and the brass cap on one end says "Stratton Brothers Greenfield Mass" on one end.The cap on the other says "No. 10".Both vials are good.It`s a heavy little fellow,about the same cross section as my late model mahogany 2 footer.Anybody out there shed any lite on this before it goes in the barrister`s bookcase?
BTW-Got it in a package deal with 2 dozen new carbide circular saw blades,a double handfull of assorted new sawsall blades,a SW #4,a low angle Stanley block plane,2 older quality wrecking bars,a trim bar,cat`s paw,drywall tools,box of clamps,General 810 sharpening jig,a double handful of Perfect Handle screwdrivers and socket chisels,MINT Greenlee drawknife,slightly rusty L&IJ White drawknife,and cool old upolsterer`s tack hammer.All for the grand total of $40 of SWMBO`s money.
She wanted the cabide sawblades who`s labels totaled over $250 for her business.I told her why not throw the sawsall blades in too.Her reply,"$50 is ALL I`ll spend".Sure was surprised when I got it for $40.Hey,When the plywood+spray paint sign says"Everything must go"I take them at thier word.Probably could have run it up to $50 but we ran out of trunk space.
I figure a couple more deals like this and I`ll be ready to shave my head and look for some young hardbody to model 4 ft saws for me.;^)
Now about this cute little level...

PS- she bought lunch too.Beep-beep.
