Surveying Transit

Description

I have an old Surveying Transit, still in the box.  Wondering if it is worth anything.  Can anyone tell what it is worth?

It is a Dietzgen Transit, Series 6000.

One of the website says Series 6300 is from Circa 1915.  So, this must be older.

Can anyone tell me what this is worth?
