I agree Gene, I'll do that, now, we'll see how long it lasts on the mantle. I'll tell her, "Gene said".

Tell her one more little beauty brightens the room when she's not there. 

 A favorite tool of a millwright, used it to set-up machines and roll lines. I think the nut on the left was used to set the level true or at a slight slope. You could place shims under the level then you would know how much to raise or lower the machine.

Very cool. Is it missing a plumb vile in the notched out area or is it hard to see from this picture?

Thanks for the information Duck! Appreciate it much!

Gramps, the vile is there, the vile is sitting vertically, if you look closely to the left side of the notch, you'll see a bit of glass peeking through.

The vial is protected like many machinist levels,  the metal tube rotates to protect it. Just roll the tube to the bottom
