Sextant in Case

Charming pocket sextant as used by Victorian explorers and surveyors. Intricate and semi-functional, it has all the pieces needed to shoot the sun. A sextant defined latitude. A clock longitude. Defining the angle of Sun and Stars with the horizon was an important way to navigate and survey. A beautiful intricate little instrument with an interesting and ancient history. *Color: Bronze Finished & Honey Distressed French Finish *Size: 5.9? W x 5.9? L x 31? H
