Notes: "This is an all-brass polar planimeter by Dennert and Pape in Germany. It is in the style of the Amsler Type 3. Although there is no maker’s name on it anywhere, it was identified by very specific construction details that were not used by other manufacturers. The serial number is 783, making this one of the earliest D&P planimeters known, and dating it to 1889 or 1890."
