AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful dry compass hanging in a cardanian ring with a diameter of 23 cm. The compass has a diameter of 18.5 cm. Likely from the Dutch manufacturer Observator.
Also very decorative in the dark because a light is placed underneath.
The operation is still excellent.
A lot of photos have been added so that the condition of the compass and house can be clearly assessed. There are also a few photos with the lighting on the bottom.
Taking photos are part of the description.
The compass will be shipped very well packaged, insured, and via registered mail with a track and trace code.
See my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs.
Not sent to the United States.
