This lovely Gimbaled Compass is finished with a thick silver plating. This beautiful piece stands just over 5" tall and about 3.5" in diameter. It is perfect for any nautical collection and makes a great display piece.
Ship captains have used these compasses to maintain their course in the wide open sea. Gimbals on ships are designed to pivot with the rocking of a ship to keep items level to the horizon at all times.
