Antique brass clinometer – artillery inclinometer with level, 19th century.

We invite you to purchase a unique example of an antique clinometer (inclinometer), also known as a quadrant with a level. This precise measuring instrument, made entirely of solid brass, was once used to determine angles of inclination. Its main application is related to artillery – it was used to set the elevation angle of cannon barrels, which was crucial for firing accuracy. The instrument is equipped with a level (tubular spirit level) and a precisely engraved angular scale. Its operation is based on gravity – the level indicates deviation from horizontal or vertical, allowing for quick and accurate measurement. On the reverse, there is a clear inscription "M.M. ARTILL. ARSENAL", which indicates military origin and emphasizes the authenticity of this historical object. Whether you are a collector of militaria, an enthusiast of the history of technology, or looking for an unusual piece for your study decor – this clinometer will surely attract attention. Its age (probably the second half of the 19th century), solid brass construction, and rich history make it not only a tool but also a witness to a bygone era. Condition: The item is in good vintage condition, with signs of patina and use, which adds to its authentic character. The level is functional. Ideal as a unique collector's item or historical prop. Dimensions: Approx. 10 cm x 8 cm (please contact us for exact dimensions).
