CS-011-012 CS-011  Pocket Watch Case Compass   This compass very closely resembles a traditional pocket watch with a heavy brass case suitable for engraving. The lid is spring loaded and opens with a touch of the release button within the chain loop.  [Pictured in lower right of group picture at left.]   $20.00

CS-012  Brass 2-inch Diameter Compass   Slightly larger than our other pocket compasses, this lightweight compass features a needle hold-down lock which prevents the needle from wearing on the jewel while in storage. As with all our compasses, the case is suitable for engraving and is furnished in untreated brass which will develop historically correct patina in a short time. (This means it will tarnish unless you keep it polished.)   [Pictured in lower left of group picture at left.]   $15.00

CS-004  18th Century Brass Pocket Compass   A good representation of the style of compass carried by explorers and travelers during the mid to late 18th century.
