Sokkisha B2 Automatic Level with Case

A silver, matte metal piece of measuring equipment. The level fits sideways into the holder. The level has a triangular rotating base with three black plastic knobs. This base attaches to a circular platform. The top of this platform has a small circular liquid level inset on one side, and a small circular measuring tool (in mm) inset on the other side. Attached to this platform is a larger tube angled slightly upwards. One end of this tube has a circular glass lens. The other end of this tube has a small black plastic viewfinder. Printed on the side of the tube is 'Sokkisha / [triangular logo] / TOKYO / 17729 / B2'. There is a small yellow dot found on the front of both the triangular base and the circular base.

The equipment sits on top of an orange plastic base which attaches to the orange lid. The base has rounded corners and there is a moulded plastic stand with two moveable hinged arms that fold in to enclose the lid. These arms have pieces of worn white felt on the inner surfaces that hold the measuring equipment. One side of the arm base has a paper sticker listing printed technical information. On one corner of the base is a light brown leather holster that has a strap with a press stud (the base of the press stud has been ripped away from the leather). The base has a black plastic seal running around its edge and stands on four black plastic feet.

There is a rectangular, orange plastic lid with rounded corners. The bottom of the lid has two large silver metal clips (one on the right side and one on the left), which clip into the base. A faux-leather plastic strap is attached to each clip, threading over the top of the lid. This strap also threads through a plastic bracket on the left side of the lid (the bracket on the right side is snapped off and missing). There are two stickers on the top of the lid: a manufacturer's sticker in black and white which reads 'SOKKISHA / AUTOMATIC LEVEL / B2 / MADE IN JAPAN' and an asset sticker in blue and white which reads 'CITY OF WANNEROO / ASSET No. 0004400 / DO NOT REMOVE'. There is also an inscription in permanent texter which reads 'PH 4050408'. The lid seems worn and battered with various black and white flecked marks.
