The Brass Gimbaled 'U' Compass is a standout piece from Aladean's exceptional collection of vintage nautical gift items. This antique brass compass, with its intricate design and stylish look, is a testament to the craftsmanship of yesteryears. Its beautiful shape and size make it a perfect addition to any nautical collection.
Historically, ship captains have relied on Gimballed compasses to maintain their course in the vast open sea. The Gimbals on ships are designed to pivot with the rocking of the ship, ensuring the compass remains level to the horizon at all times.
While this Brass Gimbaled 'U' Compass features functioning parts, it is primarily a display piece. The needle of the compass may not provide accurate readings. Despite this, it makes a great display piece and can be purchased in bulk quantity at the best price from Aladean, a top gimbal compass manufacturer.
