Description
A c.1920s–1930s German drafting instrument set attributed to Riefler, presented in its original fitted green case. Designed for precision technical drawing, the set includes a range of instruments such as a beam compass, dividers, ruling pens, and interchangeable attachments, all crafted with the clean, mechanical accuracy typical of early 20th-century German engineering.
Each component reflects a time when drafting was done by hand and accuracy depended entirely on the quality of the instrument. The steel construction, balanced weight, and modular design speak to both durability and refined craftsmanship.
Today, the set functions equally well as a collectible object or as a visually striking piece of industrial decor, carrying the quiet authority of tools built for serious work.

Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
