Add a piece of maritime history to your collection with this authentic ship compass, originally used on lifeboats. While smaller than full-size ship compasses, this compact design makes it ideal for nautical enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The brass housing, painted in brown and grey, shows natural signs of wear, giving it a unique weathered look. Over the years, some of the paint has worn away, which adds to its charm and authenticity. The design includes a mount for a side oil light, making it useful for night-time navigation.
Made from mixed metals and glass, this compass is sturdy and functional. It has a diameter of 4.75 inches, with a glass viewing area of 3.25 inches. The marking “N 1505” is on the edge ring of the compass.
*Please note that this compass has not been tested, and its functionality is not guaranteed.
Key Features:
*Compact Lifeboat Design: Smaller than typical ship compasses, making it perfect for display or collection.
*Aged Brass Housing: Plated brass with natural wear, enhancing its vintage, rustic appearance.
*Side Oil Light Mount: Includes a mount for an oil light, true to its original design.
This Authentic Ship Compass is a fantastic addition to any nautical decor or collection. Its vintage appearance, real markings, and rich history make it a unique find from the maritime world. less
