A rare and wonderfully tactile hand-bearing compass made by John Morton & Co., Glasgow — known for precision engineering and naval instruments in the early 20th century. Housed in its original fitted wooden case with brass hardware, this instrument was likely used in military or maritime navigation.

The compass features a bold card dial with cardinal directions, original prism sight, and metal grip with hand-painted section. A brilliant piece of functional history, perfect for display in a nautical or explorer-themed interior, or as part of a scientific or militaria collection.

Maker: John Morton & Co., Glasgow

Condition: Wear and patina consistent with age and use.
