Lewis & Clark Compass – Antique Brass Expedition Pocket Compass
The Lewis & Clark Compass is a functional brass pocket compass presented beneath glass in a mahogany case. Its explorer-era styling is intended to evoke early American overland navigation while remaining a readable instrument for modern map work or display.
The case measures 3.25 inches square by 1.25 inches high. Brass surrounds the magnetic needle, and the glass cover protects the face without hiding the mechanism. Gift packaging is included.
Use it as a compact direction reference, an introduction to compass navigation, or a desk object for someone drawn to expedition history. As with every magnetic compass, accuracy depends on taking readings away from nearby metal and magnetic interference.
