Large Circa 1900 Gurley Plain Compass

Full size Plain Compass - 15 inch mainplate and a 5 inch needle

Comes with a nice assortment of tools, including screwdriver and wrench.

Comes with plumb bob,and adapter and compass cover.

Level vials hold although although the two levels have two different looking glass inserts. One or both must be a replacement.

Compass looks like it’s been re-laquered and it’s a bit of an orange color. Odd looking. The whole box looks re-laquered the Gurley label has been lacquered over.

One of the thumb screws is a replacement and doesn’t look like the other one.

A very complete and nice looking box.

I assume the glass is a replacement. The glass appears too thick and rides above the compass.

You could have a nice looking compass with all the extra tools if you remove the lousy lacquer job and put a thinner piece of glass on the compass.
