Possible Military Miniature Binnacle or Compass

Item Details

Description

Appears to be a very small binnacle or compass that may have been used on a military ship. Measures 6.75 inches tall, 4 inches deep and the wood base is 7 inches wide. Weighs almost 9 pounds! Appears to be working. May have been a tag on the top front. One of the knobs on the upper back is pushed forward causing some cracking to the metal body. Interesting and unique piece that is easy to display.

All items will be shipped with a signature required upon delivery and full insurance either via FedEx or the USPS Priority Mail. Worldwide shipping available. A shipping quote prior to the auction can be provided by emailing your postal code.
