For 119 pictures in 2019 #27, "compass". This is a manually operated compass for those occasions when you don't have a gps signal. The red part of the arrow points north. There is a line that isn't really visible in this photo that is etched in the clear base. You point that where you want to go, turn the dial so the indicator lines up with an outline on the base, and read off the degrees from the dial. The basic instructions for getting lost, lol. This was taken in the last green spot in my slowly dying yard, where at 2:00 PM it is already 100 F. It should easily hit 104 later.
Just a quick shot of a compass in our front yard.

for 7DoS: I intended to use this old compass earlier in the week but didn't quite get organised enough. Now to catch up with everything else ...
I clipped this with four pegs in the back so I could photograph it closed like a compass. It looks nice in its relaxed state, too. Red tant, 6"

...You wanna give up 'cause it's dark
We're really not that far apart
So let your heart sweetheart be your compass when you’re lost
And you should follow it wherever it may go
When it’s all said and done, you can walk instead of run
‘Cause no matter what, you’ll never be alone...

Vintage compass on a vintage map.
My husband got me this lovely, palm-sized vintage compass at a ship salvage shop and antique dealer in Bangladesh.
The walnut-toned wood box has a metal label reading "Negretti & Zambra, as does the compass itself, both on the cover, and under the glass on the rose's face. The outside of the compass lid reads "Edward VII Compass King & Emporer 1908". The date, 1908, and the word, "London" is inscribed on the compass rose under the glass. The compass has a fob, as well as a sliding knob to lock the floating needle in place when not in use.
The poem, Robert Frost's "The Road Less Taken" has been engraved on brass-toned metal and appears to have been attached to the inside cover. This poem dates to 1915 and was not really considered a classic until the mid-1920s. I'm assuming that the inscription was added later, particularly because the font-styles are more modern.
My husband isn't sure if the compass actually dates to 1908. Negretti & Zambra manufactured compasses, telescopes, monocules, barameters and other scientific items during this time period, but I was unable to find a similar compass style during a fairly comprehensive Internet search.
If you know anything about vintage compasses, please leave a comment. No matter whether this is a reproduction or an actual antique, it is still a wonderful addition to my collection of cartography and geographic ephemera.
Well, here she is.
My wife doesn't like the model.
Calls it: "real estate broker wannabe SUV."
But: "with the gloss black roof, those rims and tires, you'll get away as a mid-manager in one of the gangs in the southern suburbs."
(The latter though, is better than being labelled as a real estate broker...)
