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"

Nantucket’s "Compass Rose Mural", at Washington and Main Streets, was designed by photographer and entrepreneur H. Marshall Gardiner, who, in the 1930s, commissioned Walter Ayers to paint the mural on the side of his gift shop named Gardiner’s Corner.
The compass rose has appeared on nautical charts and maps since the 1300s. The term “rose” comes from the figure’s compass points resembling the petals of the flower. Originally, it was used to indicate the directions of the winds (then known as a “wind rose”). It evolved to show cardinal directions: the main compass points of north, south, east, and west. Beyond its practical applications, the compass rose has taken on symbolic meanings in various cultures. It represents guidance, exploration, and the spirit of adventure. It’s often used decoratively in art, jewelry, apparel, and tattoos.

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...)
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.

This is a brass geologists compass. Geologists sometimes have to hike in remote areas so are limited on the equipment they can carry.
This compass not only does map reading but can also measure the angles, heights and directions of rock strata and fault lines. The other numbers and dials you see in the picture give the geologist the information they need to carry out the trigonometry calculus for these angles.
The camera was set to macro and I used a preset function to create a pin-hole effect.
Thanks for looking.
Thank you for all those who take the time to comment and also to those who add my photos to galleries and groups, you are all very kind.
