A rare and exquisite example of Victorian travel equipment. This pocket compass features a rich, mottled tortoiseshell-effect celluloid case with ornate brass and silver-tone hardware. The compass dial remains crisp with classic typography, housed under a domed crystal. It comes complete with its original brass mesh "fob" strap and a decorative bead/bell charm, allowing it to be attached to a waistcoat or chatelaine. A perfect piece for collectors of maritime, travel, or horological curiosities
