Maybe someone here can help.
I broke your link because when I opened it I only got a home page that led me almost nowhere useful. Some catalogs were listed, but I couldn't look inside them.

Jay
 Try and get the picture another way?
Sometimes you can right click the mouse and copy image.
But sometimes you have to use screen print. Its a key that every computer has, but hardly anyone uses. 
   I like levels

Pictures worked in IE but not FireFox.

Funky website that. http://silentsellers.com/  weird scripting.
The picture was from the The Queensland Pastoral Supply Company Catalog from 1962

Oh Ok.  Builders level.
 Nope, never saw that one, but its functionally the same as many many others.

 How does it look in person?  Dripping with brass?  28 pounds?   Big precision glass level vial?? Big glass eyepiece and objective lens?
