Vintage Draughtsman’s Drawing Set with Slide Rule
This lot offers a mixed collection of vintage draughtsman’s drawing equipment, presented on a blue cloth alongside a selection of plastic storage boxes. The principal pieces include a pair of set squares, one with a protractor head marked “Japan”, alongside a folding slide rule and a wooden folding rule. A drawing instrument case holds a range of compasses and dividers, while a plastic tray contains coloured pencils, pens and a Staedtler Mars plastic eraser. Two sharpening or rubbing stones and a number of loose pieces, including a small quantity of clips and fittings, complete the lot. Together these items reflect the traditional tools once used in engineering, architectural and school drawing offices.
Condition and Collector Appeal
The items show the expected signs of age and use, including scuffing, surface wear and marks to the plastic and painted surfaces. Originality appears good throughout, with the instruments, rules and case retaining their original fittings where visible. Contents have not been tested or confirmed as fully complete, so buyers are encouraged to inspect the lot carefully before bidding. Collectors of vintage drafting equipment, students of technical drawing history and enthusiasts of retro stationery may find this a worthwhile grouping, particularly for display or as a practical starter set.
