Brass Sundial Compass with Hexagonal Wooden Case – Wholesale Nautical Gifts

Make Time for Your Own Direction

There are moments when someone stops following the familiar route and chooses their own: a graduate beginning again, a colleague taking a new responsibility, a friend setting out on a long-awaited adventure.

At Aladean, we make this brass sundial compass as a tangible reminder of that choice. Its hour ring speaks of time; the compass beneath it speaks of direction. Together, they offer a simple thought worth keeping: spend your time on the path that matters to you.

A Small Instrument with a Story to Tell

• Handcrafted brass sundial compass in a polished golden finish.
• Circular sundial ring with Roman-numeral hour markings and folding pointer.
• Hinged upper assembly revealing the compass beneath.
• Side scale, adjustment fittings and a visible green bubble-level detail.
• Hexagonal wooden case with contrasting compass-star lid decoration.
• Dark lining and brass-coloured hinge and closure fittings.
• Listed instrument dimensions: 6 cm × 2 cm.
• Listed wooden case dimensions: 9 cm × 9 cm × 3 cm.
• One sundial compass and one wooden case per standard complete set.

Confirm measurement points, dimensions with the sundial folded and raised, case clearance, finish and component movement against an approved sample. This is an antique-style reproduction, not an authenticated historical artifact. Existing photographed markings are decorative details and do not establish manufacturing origin, maker affiliation or provenance.

We offer it as a heritage-inspired gift and display instrument. Calibration, navigation accuracy and reliable sundial timekeeping are not promised. Do not rely on it as a sole navigation or safety instrument.

For Trade Collections with Meaning

As your manufacturer and wholesale supplier, we welcome nautical gift retailers, museum and heritage shops, online resellers, importers, distributors and corporate gifting teams. Explore graduation, recognition, retirement and new-journey collections where a compact keepsake can carry a personal message.

The compass-star case gives the set its own visual identity. We do not promise sales results, certified materials or permanent finish performance.

MOQ and Complete-Set Pricing

Standard MOQ: 100 complete sets. Each standard set includes one sundial compass and its wooden case. Genuine B2B and corporate projects may discuss flexibility by prior agreement; smaller orders are not automatically accepted.

The displayed price is per standard complete set, not the total minimum order. Personalization, design variations, extra components and freight arrangements are agreed separately. Confirm sample availability, charges and dispatch arrangements before sample supply.

Give Their Direction a Dedication

Consider a name, milestone date or a short line such as “Your time. Your direction.” Discuss a suitable case surface, instrument underside or a separately quoted plaque. Available space and construction determine feasibility; we do not engrave over the compass, scales, level or moving fittings.

For agreed personalization, purchase the Aladean Personalization Add-On with this sundial compass in the same cart. Put exact wording, preferred language and the requested component and surface in order notes.

Personalization is separately purchased. We agree space, artwork, script suitability, service quantities, charges and timing. One add-on does not automatically cover every set or multiple surfaces in a bulk order. Added wording does not automatically replace existing markings or the compass-star decoration. Approve the digital mockup before customized production.

Sample Approval Before Bulk Production

Review the brass finish, dial markings, hinge action, pointer, side scale, level, compass response and case fit. Confirm wood appearance, lining, lid decoration, closure, actual and packed dimensions and weights, along with the agreed inventory of components.

We welcome international sourcing enquiries. Share business details, quantity, destination and postal code, required date and artwork brief. Agree sample review, production, dispatch, packing and transit arrangements before committing to a project deadline. We commit only to what we can deliver. Free freight, express delivery and guaranteed arrival dates are not assumed.

Trade Buyer Questions

Is the wooden case included?
Yes, one hexagonal wooden case is included with each standard sundial compass set.

Is this a genuine antique?
No. It is an antique-style reproduction.

Can we use it for navigation?
It is offered as a gift and display instrument; calibrated navigation accuracy is not promised.

Discuss a genuine B2B or corporate project first. Any exception requires prior agreement.

Care for the Set

Handle the folding parts gently without forcing hinges or adjustment fittings. Keep dry and dust with a soft cloth. Avoid immersion, abrasives and unapproved polishing treatments that could affect markings or finish. Keep away from strong magnets when observing compass movement. Store in the case with the assembly folded appropriately and without pressure on the pointer or glass.
