Description
This wooden compass shows the maker's name "Thaxter & Son, State Street, Boston" and measures 18" long, is 7 3/8" in diameter, has a 6" needle, and the body is 1 5/8" thick. The paper card has a few minor splits but is overall in very good condition for its age. There are no splits in the wood body, it has an early-style replacement needle, and old wavy glass. It has a beautifully-crafted wood socket with brass insert, but there are no sight vanes or box. Cashier's checks or money orders are preferred; personal/business checks require ten days to clear.
On Apr-14-01 at 05:18:18 PDT, seller added the following information:

In response to a viewer's e-mail, I would like to add the following information: The paper card is original. If there were sight vanes they would slip into the slot using a friction fit and would be held in place by a shoulder.

Details for the seller and high bidder(s):
The seller should contact the winning bidder(s) with information on the total cost, including shipping, and where to send payment. The winning bidder(s) must pay the seller directly for the item(s), and it is the seller's responsibility to fulfill the order when payment terms are met. The binding contract of the auction is between the winning bidder and the seller.

If the seller is unable to establish contact with the high bidder within 3 business days of the end of the auction, he/she may lose the place as winning bidder, and be at risk for receiving negative feedback and/or a Non-Paying Bidder warning, both of which can ultimately lead to suspension from eBay.
