Made from mixed metals and glass, this compass is sturdy and functional. It has a diameter of 4.75 inches, with a glass viewing area of 3.25 inches. The marking “N 1505” is on the edge ring of the compass.

*Please note that this compass has not been tested, and its functionality is not guaranteed.
