AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A unique and authentic ship's compass from the world-renowned brand Sestrel (Henry Browne & Son Ltd, Barking, Essex).
The compass rose originates from Coubro & Scrutton Ltd and bears the historic year 1940.
The compass is mounted on a handsome wooden stand with a total height of 51 cm and is equipped with a well-working liquid-filled compass in a gimbal suspension.
The red and green buttons on the sides are for the correction/compensation of the magnetic field aboard (compensation balls or pins), which is characteristic of a nautical steering compass.
This beautiful piece is fitted with both an original oil lamp and modern electric lighting.
A fantastic decorative and functional showpiece for a nautical interior, office, or for maritime history enthusiasts.
Photos are part of the description.
The compass with its housing will be very well packed, insured and sent by registered mail with a track and trace code.
Also view my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs.
Not shipped to the United States.
