AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very beautiful liquid-filled compass hanging in a cardan ring with a diameter of 23 cm. The compass has a diameter of 18.5 cm. Made by the well-known Dutch manufacturer Observator.
The compass works excellently and can still be used on a ship.
Also very decorative in the dark because a battery-powered light is mounted underneath.
Many photos have been added so that the condition of the compass and housing can be assessed well. Also a few photos with the lighting on at the bottom.
Photos are part of the description.
The compass will be very well packed, insured and sent by registered mail with a track and trace code.
See also my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs.
Not shipped to the United States.
