A beautifully preserved piece of German drafting history: the original Albert Nestler A.G. No. 248 wooden pantograph. Founded in 1878 in Lahr (Baden), Nestler became a well-known name in European mathematical and architectural drawing instruments. According to the supplied information, this example dates from the mid-20th century and was designed to enlarge or reduce blueprints, maps, and technical drawings to scale. Especially appealing to collectors is its combination with the original cardboard box and original multilingual instruction leaflet, featuring classic period illustrations. The wooden arms have scale markings and metal pivot screws, described in the supplied information as brass. A nostalgic, tactile instrument that also makes a distinctive standalone display piece for a classic library, architect’s study, or desk. The instrument appears well preserved, with signs of age and use. The box shows wear, and the instruction leaflet has folds and age-related marks. The photographs form part of the description. Working condition, accuracy, and full technical completeness have not been established. Maker: Albert Nestler A.G.
