Antique ships compass enclosed in a copper dome with a glass window and brass mounting base. The lamp box on the side has and adjustable brass cap on the chimney to adjust flame, I do not have a lamp with it which most likely would have been a whale oil lamp. The gimbal mount compass was made by Christie and Wilson and printed Glasgow which means it could have been made in Scotland with a number 10062 on it. The last picture in the group ...was before it was cleaned, I didn't want to over clean and take all the patina away but wanted you to see before and after. Does have a ding on top was going to try and take it out but it adds character and age so I left it alone. Sizes are Brass base ring 9 1/2" cylinder is 8" height is 10 1/2" widest point to the side of lamp is 11" with a weight of 12lbs. No bids from Alaska, Hawaii or foreign countries with out prior message so that correct postage can be added.
