Marine Compass

A brass ship’s compass housed in a dovetail-joined wooden box.
The compass features a card marked with cardinal and intercardinal points, enclosed beneath a glass faceplate.
The box includes grooved interior supports to secure the compass and protect it from movement.
On the exterior, there is a handwritten inscription identifying the owner and date — E. S. Dickinson, Old Harry, Magdalen Islands, May 10th 1924.
