A Victorian sterling silver hallmarked level.
This could either have been made specifically as a one off piece or have been part of a larger set of sterling silver working tools - this is somewhat larger than a senior wardens collar collar jewel and there is no evidence that it was one.
There are no lodge identifiable marks present, nor does there appear to be any evidence of removed marks.
It is of two part construction and is ornately engraved. It is London hallmarked and dates to 1885 with reference to the letter K in a shield.
Measurements as per photos. There is one noticeable scratch to the right hand side of the level.
declaration
