Antique Danforth Marine Compass

Description

Antique Danforth Constellation Marine Compass. Manufactured right around 1970, this compass also has adjustable Kelvin's spheres (the iron balls mounted on either side) and is mounted on a wooden box for easy portability. The compass works perfectly with rewiring necessary to get the infrared light to turn it on.

The Chrome housing is in great shape, and the directional printing on the compass itself is very nice.
