Description

A brass compass under glass, set into a dovetailed hardwood box with a hinged lid. The card is aged cream with black and red points, and the needle still settles on north with a satisfying little wobble. Box has scuffs from actual use. Decorative; please don’t navigate an actual ship with it.

One of one. When this lot is gone, it’s gone.
