The Round Gimbaled Brass Desk Compass is a beautiful reproduction of an antique brass compass in a heavy round case. The 2 3/4-inch (7 cm) diameter compass is marked "Stanley London 1941" and the compass is fully gimbaled with a solid brass gimbal set. The case measures 4 5/8 inches (11.7 cm) in diameter and 2 3/8 inches (6 cm) tall, and weighs almost 2 pounds (900 grams). The bottom of the compass is covered with dark felt. The top glass is beveled and can be unscrewed to expose the compass, which is protected by a second glass cover. This elegant compass makes a beautiful addition to a nautical collection or executive's desk.
