THE COMPASS CASE IS MADE OF NICKLE AND HAS A BEVELED GLASS CRYSTAL WITH NO CRACKS OR CHIPS, VERY CLEAR!
THE COMPASS DIAMETER IS 1.8 INCHES.
THE U.S. GAUGE COMPANY FOUNDED AROUND 1904, PRIMARILY MADE STEAM GAUGES. HOWEVER, THEY ALSO PRODUCED A LIMITED LINE OF POCKET COMPASS...ES. THE MOST COMMON WERE THE OFFICIAL BOY SCOUT AND GIRL SCOUT MODELS AND THOSE ARE PRETTY HARD TO COME BY. DURING WORLD WAR II, THEY PRODUCED A COMPASS FOR THE U.S. MILITARY FOR WHICH THEY WON AN AWARD.
THE PATHFINDER MODEL IS RARE AND DIFFICULT TO FIND. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS, I CAN'T EVEN FIND A PHOTO OF ONE ONLINE ANYWHERE. I DON'T THINK MANY OF THESE WERE MADE.
