AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful compass with a cardan ring from the well-known top brand Cassens & Plath of Bremen.
The compass still looks very good and is cardan-mounted in a handsome compass housing.
The compass works excellently and is thus still perfectly usable on a ship.
The diameter of the compass is 23 cm. At the bottom there is a battery-powered light so it can be read well in the dark and also provides a nice decorative appearance.
Many photos have been added so the condition of the compass can be assessed well. Also a photo with a pen so the size can be determined clearly.
Photos are part of the description.

The compass will be very well packed, insured and shipped by registered mail with a track and trace code.
Also see my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs
Will not be shipped to the United States.
