A Large Desk Compass

£475    $644    €560
A large estate office or library desk compass 20cm in diameter. Contained within a fine mahogany case with a removeable glass. The removeable glass would mean that this large compass could be transported easily without damage. The paper compass rose shows the main cardinal points and both azimuth and quadrant scales. The steel magnetic needle is original and has a mounted centre jewel which sits upon the pivot point. The needle is chamfered on the underside at each point. The north of the needle has a tiny brass insert dot. The whole works perfectly and can be brought accurately to level by adjusting the three supporting legs to the base.
 
20cm diameter and 7.5 cm high including the feet.
