I am looking for theodolites, solar compasses, and other antique surveying equiment. I would like them for conversation pieces in the office.
This is the place. Try doing a search within this site, too. Sometimes your timing just has to be in line with the Universe. Don’t give up. You might also look for the Surveyor’s Historical Society.
Supplemental.
I really don't know what exactly I am looking for or the value of what is out there. I would like to buy a piece, but I would like to learn about the market too
@eagle1215 try to go to picclick.com , it is the fastest way to comb through all the different country ebay sites
That is quite a collection.
Tell us a bit about the licensing rules for land surveyors in Turkey.
Interesting, what do you have there?

Probably out of your price range for a conversation piece, but a cool website none the less.
I know that is a webpage cover sheet, but that is an awesome-looking piece!
I agree it is out of my price range, but it looks cool.
