DESCRIPTION:
A massive, one-owner architect/draftsman's tool collection — over 100 pieces spanning decades of technical drawing work, housed in a multi-tray cantilever tool box for easy transport and storage. This is a working professional's kit, not a random grab bag, and it shows: several pieces are personalized with the original owner's name.
Highlights include a Calculated Industries Scale Master Classic digital plan measure with pouch and manual, tested and working; a Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph technical pen set with spare nibs and ink; a Keuffel & Esser (K&E) precision protractor/triangle tool; a large Alvin bow compass (Germany); a vintage X-Acto knife set in its original wood dovetail box; and a Manuscript calligraphy nib set in its presentation tin.
Beyond those, the collection includes dozens of drafting templates (circle, square, house plan/plumbing, French curves), lettering guides and stencils, triangles and protractors, architect/engineer scale rulers, drawing pencils and lead refills (Staedtler Mars, uni, Pentel), a vintage pocket map measurer/curvimeter (tested and working), ink and cleaning supplies (including a vintage Dietzgen Skum-X tin), and a large assortment of paintbrushes including an unopened "Master's Touch" brush set.
An incredible one-stop lot for a drafting tool collector, a vintage office/studio decorator, an architecture student, or anyone furnishing a design studio.
CONDITION: Used, mixed condition throughout — a lifetime working collection, not display pieces. Previous owner personalized several pieces with his name. Expect genuine handling wear: scuffs, scratches, tarnish, dust, and age-related discoloration consistent with decades of active use and storage. Some items show more wear than others (see all photos closely). The X-Acto box shows heavy surface scratching but the set appears complete. The Scale Master Classic digital plan measure and the pocket map measurer/curvimeter have both been tested and confirmed working. The Scale Master requires batteries (not included — shipped without batteries installed). Please examine every photo carefully — the full collection is shown, and photos are considered part of the description.
IDENTIFICATION: Brand items identified from their own markings — Calculated Industries (Scale Master Classic model 6020), Koh-I-Noor (Rapidograph), Keuffel & Esser Co. (K&E), Alvin (Germany), X-Acto, Manuscript, RapiDesign, Sheaffer, and Dietzgen (Skum-X). Remaining pieces are generic/unbranded drafting supplies not individually identified.
SHIPPING AND RETURNS: Packed with care and shipped quickly — this is a large, heavy lot, so please allow extra handling time. Sold as-is, no returns.
