Made of brass, a folding "gnomon" shows the time on a neatly lettered paper face, reproduced in the original red and blue colors. This type of instrument was made in England and Germany in the mid-1700's and was popular as a timepiece and functional compass.
The compass is 1-3/4" diameter, polished brass, suitable for engraving. Best quality, this nice compass is made in the U. S. A. These will include a gift box.
Mfg. is retiring. Limited to existing supply on hand!
