FAQs

A station pointer, also known as a three-arm protractor, is a specialised nautical instrument used by navigators to plot a vessels position on a chart using horizontal angles measured between three known landmarks.

Traditional station pointers were constructed from high-grade brass, often finished with black lacquering or oxidisation to reduce glare during use at sea, alongside precision-engraved scales and steel components.

Authentic examples feature makers marks or serial numbers engraved on the central dial or frame, fine vernier scales, solid brass construction, and smooth mechanical adjustments.

These scientific instruments serve as intriguing decorative objects when displayed flat on an executive desk, mounted within a shadow box frame, or styled on a gentlemans library bookshelf.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes that can strip original black lacquering or historical surface patina.
