Item Details

Description

A JOHN BENNETT BRASS CIRCUMFERENTOR IN CASE, ENGLISH, CIRCA 1750,
signed J. BENNETT, LONDON, the brass compass rose engraved with eight cardinal points and double degree scale, mounted within brass circle of degrees with four detachable detachable sights, lacking glass, with butterfly nut, in fitted case,
10in (25.5cm) diameter
10 1/2in x 3 1/2in x 10 1/2in (26.5cm x 9cm x 26.5cm) cased
Footnotes:
There are two Scientific Instrument makers recorded with the name John Bennett operating in the mid-18th century. There is surprisingly little information on either maker, but one is known to have worked at the Globe in Crown Court, between St Ann's Soho & Golden Square, London. This Bennett is a likely candidate for producing the present instrument, as he was recorded as specialising in 'mathematical, philosophical and optical instruments'.
