AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful and heavy antique maritime navigation instrument. This concerns a rolling rule made of solid brass, manufactured by the well-known English instrument maker Charles Smith (Clerkenwell) Ltd. London.
This type of rule was formerly used on ships by navigators to accurately move courses and bearings on nautical charts.
Details: Equipped with engraved degree scales and points of the compass
The rolling mechanism works smoothly. On one side a small blemish (see last photo).
A splendid collectible for enthusiasts of nautical antiques, maritime history, or classical scientific instruments.
Indispensable in a maritime collection.
Many photos added so the instrument can be assessed properly.
Photos are part of the description.
The instrument is very carefully packed, sent by registered mail and insured with a track and trace code.
See also my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs.
Will not be shipped to the United States.
