2-Inch Brass Pocket Compass with Wooden Box – Wholesale Nautical Gifts

A Small Box. A Big Beginning.

The speech is over. The photographs are taken. Then comes the quieter moment: a wooden box placed in someone's hands, with a few words they can carry into whatever comes next.

“You don't have to know every step. Just remember what matters.”

At Aladean, we make our 2-inch brass pocket compass with wooden box for gifts that hold encouragement. A graduation, a first leadership role, a retirement or the beginning of a shared adventure becomes more personal when your message has something tangible to call home.

Open the Box. Let the Story Begin.

The antique-finish brass compass is a separate pocket-style piece, ready to lift from its wooden box. A hinged lid, carrying ring and ornate dial give it its traditional nautical character. Calendar-style markings and anchor-and-ship motifs inside the lid invite a closer look.

The Sheesham wooden keepsake box adds warm grain, a metal clasp and a ship-themed “SAILOR'S ART” plaque. Wood grain and antique-style finish variations give individual pieces their own character.

• One complete unit: One pocket compass and one wooden box.
• Compass: Brass construction with an antique-style finish; nominal size 2 inches.
• Details: Hinged calendar-style lid, carrying ring, ornate dial and nautical motifs.
• Presentation: Sheesham wood box with metal clasp and ship-themed plaque.

This compass is not fixed into the box. A chain, stand, gift wrapping and custom engraving are not included. We agree exact measurements, finish and box specifications against your approved sample before a bulk order.

What Do You Want Them to Remember?

For graduates: Build a gift brief around possibility, not pressure. A name, date and a short message can mark the beginning without pretending to know where the journey will lead.

For colleagues and clients: Recognition feels different when it speaks to a real contribution. Corporate gifting agencies can use the compass as a symbol of shared direction, steady leadership or a new chapter.

For gift and nautical retailers: Bring together boxed keepsakes around exploration, homecoming and encouragement. Give shoppers room to imagine the person who will open the box.

For importers, distributors and visitor shops: Tell us about your audience and presentation requirements so we can agree a sample-led range. This is a modern antique-style keepsake, not an authenticated historical artifact.

Your Words, Their Keepsake

“Carry Your Courage.” “Our Next Chapter.” “Thank You for Showing the Way.”

These are starting points for your brief, not standard inscriptions. Existing lid details and the box plaque shape the available personalization space; we review a suitable surface before agreeing engraving.

Purchase the Aladean Personalization Add-On and the compass in the same cart for agreed personalization. Enter exact text, preferred language and identify the item and requested surface in order notes.

The add-on is separately purchased. We agree available space, artwork, required service quantities, charges and timing. You approve a digital mockup before custom production. For individual recipient names, we also agree a clear text-to-unit list. Alternative packaging or branding requires a separate feasibility review and quotation.

Wholesale Orders, Clearly Agreed

Our standard MOQ is 100 complete compass-and-box units. Flexible quantities can be discussed for genuine wholesale B2B or corporate projects by prior agreement. Contact us with your business, quantity and project details before ordering below the standard minimum.

Your quotation sets out the quantity, selected specification, unit price, samples, personalization, packing and delivery scope. For projects in the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia, Australia or New Zealand, send your delivery location and required date for supply planning.

Start with a Sample

Ask about sample availability, cost and timing. Review the compass finish, dial and needle movement, hinge and carrying ring, along with box construction, clasp and fit. We confirm instrument and box dimensions and packed weights before finalizing your order and shipment.

We offer this piece as a keepsake, not a calibrated navigation instrument. Do not rely on it for boating, hiking, survival or safety-critical navigation. The calendar-style lid is a decorative feature unless operation and date range are specifically agreed and tested for your project.

A Presentation Worth Planning

We agree cushioning between the compass and box, protection for the lid and ring, and separation of boxed units during transport. Carton quantities, dimensions and gross weights are confirmed for your shipment. Branded outer packaging, cards and gift wrapping are separate requests.

Share graduation dates, recognition events and launch deadlines early. Once samples and artwork are approved, we agree production and dispatch timing, with transit considered separately. We commit only to what we can deliver.

Care for the Keepsake

Keep dry and away from strong magnets. Dust gently with a soft cloth; avoid immersion and abrasive cleaners. Follow finish-specific brass and wood care instructions before polishing or applying treatments. Do not force the compass lid or box clasp.
