Miniature Binnacle Compass – Brass & Wood – Period 1970 – No Reserve 

A finely crafted miniature binnacle compass, dating from the 1970s. 

This piece is modeled after the classic ship’s binnacle: the protective housing used to hold and illuminate the magnetic compass aboard vessels. The cylindrical wooden base supports a brass housing with a fully working compass at the top, flanked by two painted wooden spheres in red and green symbolising port and starboard. A brass side tube and detailed fittings complete the nautical design.
The compass is illuminated from within by a small bulb, powered by a 9V battery. This feature evokes the way real binnacles were lit at sea for night navigation.

Period: 1970s
Materials: Brass, wood, painted wooden spheres
Dimensions: h 17 x w 11 cm
Condition: In excellent vintage condition, minimal traces of age, fully functional with working compass and light. On/off button not working.
A decorative and authentic maritime collectible, ideal for display in a nautical interior.

Please see the photos for an accurate impression of this lot.
A true eye-catcher in your home or office.
