Suspect Builders Item-Circa 1900

By hiramr, 29 December, 2017
Description

This item is approx 10cm in Length and dates 1900's

It is triangular at the base with Brass encapsulating a reflective Triangular Glass?

The instrument is support via a Gold Looking(although NOT Gold) handle with a hole thru the crown.

I suspect it is a Builders Instrument of some description-perhaps to gain levels on a construction site.

Other than that it may have some connection to the Masonic Lodge.
