Those Glass Tubes with Ball Bearings — Likely Not from a Spirit Level (Here's What They Probably Are)

→ Brass/metal ring with screw holes = tool component
→ Wooden housing = possibly a toy or educational device
💡 What to Do With It
If It's a Vibration Indicator
If It's a Level Vial
✅ Display in industrial/tool collection
✅ Mount in shadow box with vintage tools
✅ Interesting steampunk art component (if intact)
✅ Collectible among tool historians
❌ Not valuable monetarily (<$5–10 typically)
✅ Brass-mounted bullseye vials can be $20–50 to collectors
📌 Collectibility note: Common vibration indicators have modest value. True bullseye level vials (with bubbles, not balls) in original brass housings are sought by tool collectors.
❌ What It's Definitely Not
Medical/pharmaceutical vial (would have crimped metal seal, not open ends)
Chemical sample tube (would be labeled; balls wouldn't be included)
