Description

This auction is for a vintage Paulin System Surveying Precision Micro Altimeter, model M-2, which is an antique scientific instrument.

Manufacturer: American Paulin System of Los Angeles, California, developed by Joshua Gabriel Paulin.

The device features a large circular dial, logarithmic scales, and comes in a leather carrying case.

Similar models were manufactured roughly between the 1920s and 1970s.
