Description



Here is a very interesting and early 'SURVEY COMPASS'. It is signed by JAMES EUBANK - a maker that does not appear in either Smart or the British Directory. 6 1/2 face; 15 1/2 inch length and 6 inch vanes. Without a reference on the maker, I would judge a date of mid 1700's to 1780. Style and construction certainly are pre-1800. Face is decorated with an 8 point star on the face (which retains traces of silvering). Direction points also include SW, NE, SE, and NW in addition to the usual North, South, etc. Built in counter in good working order is operated by a knob under the instrument. No case and the wood pedestal is not included. Nicely decorated brass cover which fits perfectly and is undoubtedly original to the compass. As-found, unpolished with the original dark gold patina. --- Email questions --- 7 day no-fault return/refund privilege --- Buyer pays $15 Priority Mail shpg (US) - OVERSEAS/CANADA additional at cost--- Optional insurance extra. -- Thank you

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.
