I was looking at a box of surplus military stuff and found this brass tube. If I look through the small sight hole I can see the bubble of the level bouncing around as I move it. Does anyone know what it is used for?
Thanks for any ideas or thoughts.

Looks a lot like a pocket transit level, used to do survey work on dirt work job sites.

Ahh I see now, thank you for the info. I've never been around one of those before but after that video it makes sense now.

"Pop Level" or "Hand Level", Surveyors, Construction Grade Foremen used them to check grades.
