Brass Gimble Compass 5"

The Hampton Nautical 5” Boxed Compass is a beautiful reproduction of an antique brass British compass in a handsome brass-inlaid hardwood box. The 3-inch (10 cm) compass is fully gimbaled with a solid brass double-gimbal. The compass is available with either an air or liquid-damped compass card. Both have a solid brass enclosure and are fully gasketed. The boxed compass is a beautiful addition to any nautical collection or executive's desk. The front of the felt-lined hardwood case has a brass front clasp and the box's corners are inlaid with solid brass splines.

The case is made out of a high quality smooth finish hardwood. The rosewood box has one clasp and a brass filling of an anchor with rope Hampton Nautical embedded in the top of the box.
