Seemingly destined for desk bound travelers given the luxurious wood box. Yet such compasses were originally essential instruments used on small fishing dories and lifeboats. Our daily language has borrowed a multitude of nautical expressions,
one of which is: “set course for”. That’s what a compass does. Truly a wonderful and thoughtful gift for the man who has everything.
Distressed and French finished wood box, brass compass with a precision dry compass card showing which course to sail.    

Dimensions: 3.5 x 3.5 x 1.7 in.
