Wed. J. Ahrend & Zoon
Although not an instrument manufacturer, but a trade-firm in office furniture and supplies, Wed. J. Ahrend & Zoon (or Ahrend in short) is still worth mentioning. Here in the Netherlands they were the major re-seller of geodetic instruments of all sorts, like survey tapes and chains, surveyor's crosses, sounding and geodetic sextants, levels and theodolites. Among the firms they featured were De Koningh and 
Wild Heerbrugg.

This instrument is similar to a 1965 Wild Heerbrugg NK01 - See:
