Compass

[user 922]

I just finished this compass. The case is a nice piece of figured maple. The original compass glass fell out but I had a piece of beveled glass that fit perfectly. The two-piece case holds everything together.

Very impressive sir.

They were available from a couple of sources on ebay. It appears, at present, that everyone is out of stock.

Ok thanks for the info. :grin: Did you search under "compass" or was there some other key words, so maybe in the future I can check eBay and get lucky?

WOW! Love it! Been looking to add a nice compass to my kit. Maybe one of these days...Mick

I used "vintage compass". Hopefully, someone will stock them again. They're available directly from the source in China but they want a minimum order of 1,000 pieces. They weren't expensive - about $5.00 each, as I remember. They are 2" diameter - perfect size - and, actually, nicely made.

...OK...so where are the other 999 pieces. Wanna sell any of em? :haha:
Very nicely done by the way.

I looked at some on ebay and have to ask, what does false mean in relation to a compass??

I believe it's something that eBay adds to search results, that has nothing to do with the item. I can't figure out what it means. Once you click on the details of the item, the "false" disappears.

10-4,Thanks Claude.

That just tells the code what state it is in. The default view is the "true" state and the detail view is the "false" view. Clicking on the details link changes the state to "false" and displays the additional content. Otherwise the details would not display. Odds are refreshing the page would put it back into the "true" state.
