We seek advice.?ÿ We have inherited an optical transit, in its original wooden box, that our Dad used to survey his property and for the construction of his house in Billings, Montana (USA) back in the early 1950's. It appears to be in good, operable condition.?ÿ There is no brand name or serial number on it or on the box. I think we can say it's an antique.?ÿ We don't need to cash it,?ÿ we don't want to trash it.?ÿ We would appreciate, though, suggestions about the best way to dispose of it.?ÿ Grateful for any member responses...?ÿ

It may not have a brand name, but if you post a few photos someone may be able to identify it and tell you something about it.
One option for disposing of it would be to donate it to a local elementary school. I have done school presentations about surveying, and the kids always want to look through the instrument. It might or might not fit into the curriculum, but they would learn something anyway.
