Cased Ships Compass By Plath Of Germany With Oil Burner

~ Cased Ships Compass By Plath Of Germany With Oil Burner ~

A very well presented example, the first I have had in a wooden case, usually they are brass.

Under the hinged lid is a quality Plath compass on gimballed mounts.

The plaque on the front of the case reads “C. Plath Hamburg Germany”.

To the side is an oil lamp in a brass case.

It probably dates from the mid-20th century but the top loop is a much later addition.

~ Dimensions ~

The piece is 27 cm (10.5 inches) tall by 35 cm (13.75 inches) wide by 20 cm (8 inches) deep. It weighs 4.3 Kg.

~ Condition ~

The piece is in excellent order.
