Housed in a solid turned wood case, this nautical deck compass features a true gimbaled brass mechanism and is exceptionally solid and heavy at approximately 3 lbs, reflecting thick brass, instrument-grade construction rather than decorative manufacture. The cylindrical form distinguishes it from more common square boxed compasses and aligns it with professional maritime or chart-table instruments.
Star, Boston, U.S.A., American maker of marine navigational instruments, producing professional-grade compasses for maritime use.
