Like the title says, has anyone restored a level? Looking at you, @steven newman and @Larry Buskirk... I needed a 4' level and got a group deal at auction yesterday. This 18" Sweetheart was one of them. If the logo goes along with the SW used on planes, this level would be dated around 1921-1922. It's rough, and likely not worth too much time to clean it up. But, has anyone restored one? Looking at the first pic, how does the vertical bubble get removed?

I had some time to kill late Friday afternoon waiting for my wife to get off work so we could pick-up the truck from the transmission transplant. I hadn't been to the local flea market since well before Christmas...Pretty much the same 'ole, same 'ole. On the way out one booth has a variety of tools but most are of little value. I did however stumble upon this laying under some junk. @John Moody you wanted proof and more details of the find. So you know, I trudged out to the garage today, 18o, wind blowing, barefoot, waist high snow, uphill both ways to find my magnifying glass. Here's the results. How did I do? This is a "four fold" right? Any ideas on the approximate age? I hope to clean it up a bit but not ruin the patina. I stumbled upon an article Chris Schwartz wrote about how he cleaned one using diluted oxilac acid wash I'm not sure yet how to reattach the brass strips but was thinking maybe CA glue? Thoughts. Stanley-Sweetheart No. 62 Boxwood & brass folding rule; Besides the U.S.A. it is stamped Boxwood. Only one of the three alignment/latch pins remain; brass edge strips have pulled or been pulled from brass pins; some debris under the strips Thanks for looking.
