Dating and Verification
The spirit level marked with the Hockley Abbey trademark and model number 1621 was produced by John Rabone & Sons, a renowned company based in Birmingham. The factory was established in 1871 on the site of the former Hockley Abbey, after which the company adopted the abbey's name as part of their branding. Given that the factory was founded in 1871, and considering the materials and craftsmanship typical of the late 19th to early 20th century, it is likely that this spirit level dates from this period.
The combination of walnut wood and brass is consistent with the design trends and quality standards of tools produced by John Rabone & Sons during this era. The specific model number 1621, along with the preserved condition and branding, further authenticates this piece as an original product from the late 19th to early 20th century, making it a historically significant and collectible tool.
