Brass Drum Sundial Compass with Leather Case – Wholesale Heritage Gifts

Make Time for What Guides You

A milestone deserves more than a date in a calendar. It deserves something that recalls why the journey mattered: the decisions, the people and the courage that carried someone forward.

At Aladean, we bring those ideas together in a brass drum sundial compass with a leather carrying case. Its folding sundial assembly rises above a compact cylindrical body, turning a small desk keepsake into a conversation about time and direction.

A Drum-Shaped Keepsake with Detail

• Solid brass instrument with an antique-style finish.
• Cylindrical drum body with calendar-style month and number markings around the side.
• Magnetic compass beneath a transparent face.
• Hinged Roman-numeral sundial ring and folding triangular gnomon.
• Curved graduated adjustment arc beside the compass.
• Matching brass-rimmed transparent cover carrying printed sundial instructions.
• Decorative historical-style wording on the assembly and cover.
• Round brown leather carrying case with perimeter stitching, sun motif and snap fastening.
• One drum sundial compass, one matching cover and one leather case per complete set.

Confirm diameter, body depth, open height, case fit and current finish during sample review. Calendar-style markings are part of the design; no perpetual-calendar range or tested calendar function is promised.

This is a modern antique-style reproduction. Historical maker names, London wording and printed instructions are decorative details, not evidence of original maker affiliation, historical age or British manufacture. We do not promise calibrated compass accuracy, precise sundial timekeeping or professional navigation performance. Instructions printed on the cover do not establish tested accuracy or solar-viewing safety.

For the People Who Made the Journey Matter

As your manufacturer and wholesale supplier, we welcome enquiries from heritage and nautical retailers, online resellers, importers, distributors, museum gift shops and corporate gifting agencies. Discuss retirement keepsakes, leadership recognition, graduation collections and explorer-themed gifts.

A dedication can honour a particular contribution: “You gave our journey direction” or “Make time for what matters.” We plan your collection around an approved sample and brief, without invented testimonials, historical provenance or promises of commercial results.

Wholesale MOQ and Complete-Set Basis

Standard MOQ: 100 complete instrument, cover and leather-case sets. Genuine B2B and corporate projects may discuss flexibility by prior agreement, not automatic acceptance of smaller quantities.

The displayed price is for one standard complete set, not the total minimum order. Personalization, additional accessories and destination shipping arrangements are agreed separately. Sample availability, charges and dispatch arrangements require confirmation before sample supply.

Give the Dedication Its Own Place

Discuss a name, milestone date, company emblem or short message. We assess suitable brass or leather surfaces against existing calendar markings, cover printing and the case motif. The transparent face, dial, pointer, scales, hinges and moving fittings are not automatic personalization locations. Extra wording does not automatically replace standard decoration or markings.

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

Personalization is separately purchased. We agree feasibility, script suitability, available space, artwork, service quantities, charges and timing. One add-on does not automatically cover the instrument, cover and case or every set in a bulk order. Approve the digital mockup before customized production.

Sample Review and International Supply

Review the drum finish, side markings, compass face and pointer movement, folding assembly, adjustment arc, cover fit and printing, leather stitching, snap and motif. Confirm exact dimensions and component operation before bulk approval. Agree protective packing for glass, projecting fittings and the case finish.

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

Sample review, artwork approval, production, 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 the leather case included?
Yes. The standard set contains one instrument, its matching cover and one leather carrying case.

Is this a calibrated navigation instrument?
No tested or calibrated navigation performance is promised. Use it primarily as a gift and decorative keepsake.

What do the side markings do?
They are calendar-style month and number markings. No tested calendar function or date range is confirmed here.

What size is it?
Confirm diameter, depth and open height during sample review. No unsupported numerical dimensions are supplied.

Can our message go on the case?
Subject to suitable space and technique, separately purchased service quantities and approved artwork.

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

Care and Safe Display

Keep dry, protect transparent surfaces from knocks and avoid forcing hinges or adjustment fittings. Dust brass gently with a soft cloth and request finish-specific guidance before polishing. Ask for suitable leather-care guidance rather than applying household chemicals. Strong magnets and nearby metal can influence a magnetic compass reading. Never use the instrument for direct solar viewing. Supervise children; this is not a toy or safety instrument.

Honour the Time. Remember the Direction.

Share your audience, quantity, destination, required date and dedication brief. We can discuss a sample and wholesale supply details for a keepsake that brings their journey back into view.
