NauticalMart Vintage Inspired Pocket Brass Compass with Wooden Box

At the turn of the 20th century, a world traveler couldn't afford to be without his or her pocket compass. In those days before GPS, the compass was a must-have instrument for navigation, and craftsmen took great care to produce beautiful models that doubled as fashion accessories. The NauticalMart Vintage Inspired Pocket Brass Compass with Wooden Display Box brings to life one of these designs beautifully. On the lid of the NauticalMart Vintage Inspired Pocket Brass Compass with Wooden Display Box is an engraving that reads T. Cook London 1914 and is inspired by genuine compasses once distributed by companies to promote their products. Turn the compass over, and you'll find the words to Robert Frost's inspirational, travel-themed poem "The Road Not Taken" engraved on the underside. Inside the NauticalMart Vintage Inspired Pocket Brass Compass with Wooden Display Box is a highly detailed face with precise degree markings. The names of large cities appear on the compass, and there is a ship engraved in red on the face. The compass really works and can be utilized for navigation; however, it is handsomely crafted to be used as a decorative item. The NauticalMart Vintage Inspired Pocket Brass Compass with Wooden Display Box measures 2 inches in diameter and can easily fit in your pocket. A wood storage box is provided with the compass, making it a lovely gift that is sure to delight collectors of antiques, travelers and lovers of history.
