Superb Stratton Brothers 30″ Mahogany & Brass Level — Patented July 16, 1872 • Original Label

A superb Stratton Brothers 30″ mahogany and brass level, carrying the July 16, 1872 patent date and retaining its original Stratton label—a scarce and highly desirable feature on a long level. This is an extra‑special example, exceptionally clean and beautifully preserved.

The mahogany has rich color and strong grain, paired with bright, well‑fitted brass plates that show the classic Stratton Brothers quality. The edges remain crisp, with none of the rounding or wear typically seen on 30″ levels, and the overall form is tight, straight, and collector‑grade.

Original labels on Stratton levels are uncommon, and finding one intact on a 30-inch example is genuinely rare. This level has excellent presence and displays the refined workmanship that made Stratton Brothers the premier American level makers of the 19th century.

A standout, top‑tier Stratton Brothers level—ideal for the serious collector.
