Description from the seller
Original brass ship's binnacle compass by H. Iversens Kompasfabrik, Norway, retaining its original compass card and rare accompanying navigation lantern. Marked NSK 1972, this authentic piece of marine navigation equipment was designed for practical shipboard use and remains housed within its substantial brass binnacle casing. The compass is mounted within a gimballed suspension system to maintain a level reading at sea, while the original side-mounted oil/paraffin lantern provided illumination of the compass card during night navigation. Rich untouched patina, signs of genuine maritime service and original construction details contribute to its strong historical and decorative appeal. A highly displayable nautical collectible combining both navigational and maritime engineering interest.
