    Old Nautical compass

    I was living in the UK years ago and came across this old nautical compass. For some reason I had to have it, cost me like $15. It sat in its box for years until I came across it this weekend. I dont even know how to work it. LOL I so wish it could talk and tell me the stories of its travels.
