A Collection of German Technical Drafting and Drawing Instruments

A collection of technical drafting and drawing instruments, including components by Haff. The group comprises various large and small compasses, dividers, a beam extension arm, and ruling pen attachments. The instruments are primarily constructed from chrome-plated and nickel-plated metal, likely brass or steel, with certain pieces featuring black plastic adjustment heads and handles. One extension piece is fitted with a maroon-coloured phenolic or plastic terminal. Visible markings include HAFF GERMANY stamped on a compass arm and MADE IN GERMANY on a spring-bow compass. These instruments are characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century German precision engineering.
