An antique liquid-filled compass hanging in a Cardan ring. The compass has a diameter of 13.3 cm. Made by the well-known Dutch manufacturer Observator. The compass is dry but does work.

Many photos have been added so that the condition of the compass and chest can be assessed well.

The compass will be sent very well packed, insured and by registered mail with a track and trace code.
