The Miniature Boxed Compass is a beautiful reproduction of a small antique brass gimbaled compass in a brass-inlaid solid hardwood box. The 2-inch (5.1 cm) diameter compass is fully gimbaled with a solid brass gimbal set. The hardwood case is 3 1/2 inches (8.9 cm) square and 2 1/2 inches (6.4 cm) tall, and the compass weighs 10 ounces (284 grams). The corners of the box are reinforced with lighter hardwood splines. This handsome compass makes a beautiful addition to a nautical collection or executive's desk.
