Description: One Philadelphia manufacturer became quite active as a drawing instrument maker in the latter half of the 19th century. Theodore Alteneder, an innovative machinist and draftsman, saw the need for a better designed compass and joint pattern. In 1850 he patented an improved joint design and in 1871 he was granted a second patent for further improvements"...which made (the joint) dust-proof and free from wear and friction". Alteneder was awarded a medal for his designs in the Centennial Exhibitions of 1876 and a silver medal was received from the Franklin Institute in 1885.DRAFTING COMPASSVERY GOOD ANTIQUE CONDITIONI SHIP ONE TO TWO BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIVING PAYMENTTHANK YOU
