Description

A boxed surveyor's compass with a 5 1/2" diameter dial that is engraved with the maker's name, and oddly (at least to me) East and West backwards (if someone can explain to me if this is intentional or not, I'd be grateful). It measures 15" long.

It appears everything is original on it, with liquid vials, both vanes, their screws, and the mounting hardware for the staff/tripod. It hasn't been buffed. About the only flaw I note is damage to the wooden box, where there are some loose pieces of wood.

A virgin piece that's right out of an estate.

TERMS: Buyer prepays, with money order only (postal preferred), including shipping and optional insurance. Should you not elect to insure the item, any loss or damage is your responsibility. Payment is to be made within 10 business days of my notifying you with the payment information. If you can't pay within this timeframe, please don't bid. Please ask any questions prior to bidding and in a timely matter - don't wait until the last minute.


On Jan-10-02 at 14:18:25 PST, seller added the following information:

A keen eye noted some discoloration at the base of the right vane, and asked whether it's been repaired. Indeed, it has been brazed. Sorry for not catching that.
