This is one of the most original and handsome vintage binnacles around. The dramatic helmet style hood has a large round center port with a single oil lamp. Arms on either side hold twin iron quadrantal correctors for adjusting magnetic deviation. The use of correctors was invented in the mid 1800's to reduce the affects of the ship's magnetic field (deviation) on the compass. The compass has a very old style card dating back to before the turn of the 20th Century which is only marked in compass points. It is lighted at night by the original burner. The deminsion sre H 55" x W 33" x D 17". Overall weight apporx 200 lbs. Est to be Fine Condition.
