The level belong to the donor’s grandfather Enoch Orser, who used it at his farm near Frankford, Ontario. Mr. Parsons has fond memories of staying at the farm when his father was in the Second World War, between 1942 and 1945. He loved this level and always had it with him; as a little boy he would drag it around the farm everywhere he played. Enoch Orser left it to Mr. Parsons when he passed on. Le niveau appartenait au grand-père du donateur Enoch Orser, qui l'utilisait à sa ferme près de Frankford en Ontario. Mr. Parsons a des bonnes mémoires de demeurer à la ferme avec son père lors de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, entre 1942 et 1945. Il adorait ce niveau et l'avait toujours avec lui; en tant que jeune garçon il l'apportait partout ou ce qu'il jouait. Enoch Orser l'a laissé à Mr. Parson lorsqu'il est décédé.
