C. RIEFLER. NESSELWANG, MUNCHEN - COMPASS ROUND SYSTEM SET!!

Ca. 1980

This is a rare early example of the famous round system compass set devised in 1877 by Sigmund Riefler, son of the founder of the Riefler company, Clemens Riefler. Stamped on the lower right corner is the maker's signature and address, C. Riefler, Nesselwang, München.

It is interesting to note that, instead of swing jointed at the end of the blade or at the adjustment screw commonly found in the round system sets of later period, the upper nib (top blade) of the ruling pens and the ink point of the compasses in this set are all hinged to the body such that they can be lifted for cleaning. In addition, the handle of the ruling pens are made of ivory insted of plastic, and that of the smaller one can be unscrewed to reveal a pricker, as usually found in early ruling pens.
