Vintage drafting compass and tool set in original case, made in Germany

This drafting set represents precision instruments used by architects, engineers, and technical draftsmen from the mid-20th century. These sets were essential tools before the advent of computer-aided design (CAD), allowing professionals to create accurate technical drawings, blueprints, and architectural plans. The blue velvet-lined case and chrome-plated instruments reflect the high quality standards of German manufacturing during this period. Such sets were commonly produced by companies like Post, Dietzgen, and other German manufacturers known for their precision instruments. These vintage drafting sets appeal to collectors of technical instruments, architects, engineers, and design enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship and historical significance of pre-digital drafting tools. They are valued for their nostalgic connection to traditional draftsmanship, their aesthetic appeal as display pieces, and their representation of an era when technical drawing required manual skill and precision instruments. The sets are particularly sought after by those interested in the history of design, engineering education, and vintage office equipment.
