Selling a beautiful 19th-century antique watchmaker’s depthing tool. This precision horology instrument is crafted from solid brass and steel, historically used by watchmakers and clockmakers to test gear meshing, align wheels, and adjust pivot depths before cutting teeth into movements.
- Design: Features a classic hinged mechanical frame with four adjustable steel runners (pointing tips) and fine thumbscrew control knobs for smooth adjustments.
- Scale: Included pictures show the item next to a standard quarter coin to demonstrate its micro-precision scale.
- Condition: Excellent structural shape for its age with no cracks in the brass. The mechanical adjustments glide nicely, and the metal shows a highly desirable original patina. Perfect as a functional historical instrument or a display piece for tool collectors.
