Antique-Style Brass Compass with Sailing-Ship Lid – Wholesale Gifts

Carry What Guides You

Some people give us direction without ever drawing a map. A father who encouraged the first step. A mentor who trusted an uncertain idea. A friend who stayed when the road became difficult.

At Aladean, we offer this maritime-style brass compass as a keepsake for that kind of influence. Its sailing-ship lid speaks of journeys; the words you choose to add can tell the personal story behind yours.

A Maritime Keepsake, Up Close

• Handcrafted brass compass with an antique-style finish.
• Round housing with a separate matching round lid.
• Lid decorated with a sailing ship and anchor, “MADE FOR ROYAL NAVY” wording and “1917” date.
• Warm brass-toned dial with directional lettering and graduated markings beneath a transparent face.
• Contrasting dark pointer marked N and S, with a central pivot.

This is a modern reproduction. The naval wording and date are decorative design details, not evidence of naval issue, Royal Navy affiliation, antique age or a 1917 manufacturing date. We do not promise tested navigational accuracy or safety-critical performance. Treat it as a heritage-style gift and decorative keepsake, not your sole means of navigation.

Confirm diameter, depth, current finish and lid fit against an approved sample. Photographs show a brown stitched carrying case; case inclusion, material and specification must be confirmed before ordering. No case or additional accessory is promised unless included in the agreed supply specification.

For Retail Collections and Corporate Milestones

As your manufacturer and wholesale supplier, we welcome enquiries from nautical gift retailers, heritage stores, online resellers, importers, distributors and corporate gifting agencies. Consider collections honouring mentors, retirement milestones, graduations, friendships and leadership recognition.

We help you plan the specification and dedication around your audience rather than promising sales results. A compass can mark a moment of thanks: not simply “good luck,” but “what you taught me will stay with me.”

Wholesale MOQ and Supply Basis

Standard MOQ: 100 complete compass-and-lid units. Genuine B2B and corporate projects may discuss flexibility by prior agreement. Smaller orders are not automatically accepted.

The displayed price is for one standard compass-and-lid unit, not the total minimum order. Confirm any carrying case, additional accessories, customization and freight arrangements separately. Sample availability, charges and dispatch arrangements are agreed before sample supply.

Make the Meaning Personal

Discuss a name, milestone date, short dedication or company emblem. Possible wording includes “Your example is my direction” or “Carry your courage forward.” We assess suitable surfaces, available space and artwork before agreeing personalization. Extra wording does not automatically replace the existing ship, naval wording, date or dial markings.

For agreed personalization, purchase the Aladean Personalization Add-On with this main product in the same cart. Enter exact wording, preferred language and the requested component and surface in order notes, identifying this sailing-ship-lid brass compass.

The service is separately purchased. We confirm feasibility, placement, script suitability, artwork, service quantities, charges and timing. One add-on does not automatically cover 100 compasses or multiple surfaces. Approve the digital mockup before customized production. Do not assume pointer, dial, pivot or transparent face can be personalized.

Approve the Details Before Bulk Production

Review a sample for brass finish, dial legibility, pointer movement, lid fit, markings and agreed personalization. Confirm dimensions and any case specification. Agree protective packing and care requirements for the face, lid and finish.

We welcome international sourcing enquiries for the USA, UK, Germany, France, Switzerland and other destinations. Send your business details, quantity, destination country and postal code, audience, required date and customization brief.

Production, sample review, artwork approval, dispatch and transit schedules are agreed for your order. We commit only to what we can deliver. Free shipping, express service and arrival by an occasion are not assumed.

Trade Buyer Questions

Is this an original naval compass?
No. It is a modern antique-style reproduction with decorative naval wording.

Is the lid included?
Yes. A complete standard unit means one compass with its matching lid.

Is the photographed carrying case included?
Confirm inclusion, material and specification before ordering. It is not automatically promised by the photographs.

What size is it?
Exact dimensions are confirmed during sample review; no unsupported measurements are supplied here.

Can you engrave our message?
Discuss the surface and wording first. Separately purchased personalization requires feasibility review and an approved digital mockup.

Can we order fewer than 100?
Discuss a genuine B2B or corporate project before purchasing. Flexibility requires prior agreement.

Care for a Keepsake

Keep dry and away from impacts, strong magnets and heat. Nearby magnetic objects can influence a compass reading. Dust with a soft cloth; request finish-specific guidance before polishing or using chemicals. Protect the transparent face and avoid forcing the pointer or lid. Supervise children; this is not a toy or professional safety instrument.

Let Their Influence Travel Further

Share your audience, quantity, destination, required date and dedication brief. We can discuss sample approval and the details of a wholesale collection that honours the people who help others find their way.
