Description from the seller
Cassens & Plath IOTA/2 Ship Compass – Working Vintage Navigational Instrument
For sale: a beautiful vintage Cassens & Plath IOTA/2 compass, originating from a renowned German manufacturer of high-quality nautical instruments. This type of compass is known for its reliability and was used for professional navigation aboard ships.
The compass is in nice vintage condition and functions well. The compass needle rotates smoothly and points correctly to the North. The fluid chamber is still sealed and the compass shows no leakage.
There are a few light hairs, cracks in the inner case. These do not affect operation; the compass does not leak and remains fully functional. See the photos; I have done my best to capture them. Given the age and use, this is a normal sign of aging.
An interesting nautical collectible for enthusiasts of seafaring, navigation instruments, and maritime history.
