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.
