Inside the front lid it is marked SWISS. It has a strong hinge and the push button is working perfectly. The dial is marked Boy Scouts of America, Headquarters New York City. It is also marked with the Boy Scouts logo and moto: BE PREPARED. At the edge of the dial it is marked Pat. Jan. 8, 1918 Taylor - Rochester N. Y., U.S.A.. It has a jeweled capped needle, which finds magnetic North easily. The transit lock is also functioning and would freeze the needle when the lid is closed and the compass is not in use. Very nice and rare compass. Diameter is approximately 4.5cm. |
