Circa 1840 Frye & Shaw Plain Compass

This nice Frye & Shaw compass has a 5 inch needle, 6 inch tall sight vanes, and a 14 inch main plate. Comes with its original box but lacks the staff adapter (except for a small part of the staff adapter that goes inside the socket).

The Needle lifter thumbscrew looks like a replacement.

The thumbscrew in the socket that holds the staff adapter seems bent and doesn't work.

All that said, this is a nice Frye & Shaw compass that would make for a nice display.
