ANTIQUE SEXTANT J. DURKIN. DOCKS. MIDDLESBROUGH



Description

     Antique sextant marked J. Durkin. Docks. Middlesbrough. Can't find anything relating to this apparatus. I did however find a John Durkin who was a Irish born dock worker in the 1851 census of Liverpool. Beautifully preserved with no scratches or paint loss. Original lacquered brass fittings and accessories are near flawless. Looks complete including the original key. There are only two issues as far as condition that are worth mentioning. 1~ there is some silver loss to one of the mirrors. 2~There are three brass feet or legs that support the unit when resting on a table and two of them have become detached (I have the two). It appears the brass legs probably had threaded ends. It is my opinion that this should be an easy, undetectable repair for any machinist as they are brass and easily replaced or repaired. Just picked this up at a local estate sale a couple of days ago so it's fresh to the market. It belonged to a 90 year old gentleman that had passed. Auction starts at $0.99 cents with no reserve so have fun and bid with confidence!
