1750 Sundial Compass

Solid Brass Sundial Compass. This type of instrument was made in England and Germany in the middle 1700's and provided a useful item in early America, as a timepiece and functional compass. This reproduction is a striking and unique instrument, from the folding "style" to the hand-lettered paper with eight points of the compass colored in the original hues of red and blue. Actual size is 1-3/4" in diameter. Made in USA.
