Vintage H Hughes And Son Projector Compass

Introducing the Vintage H. Hughes & Son Projector Compass, a remarkable piece made in Great Britain. A projector magnetic compass is an essential navigational instrument frequently found on larger boats and ships. Its primary function is to determine the vessel’s direction of travel. The term “projector compass” comes from its ability to display compass readings on a screen, allowing navigators to easily view and interpret the information.

This compass gimbals freely within its elegantly designed box, although the lettering and numbers have softened over time. On the face of the compass, you’ll find the distinguished name “H. Hughes & Son, London” alongside “Made in Great Britain.”

It comes beautifully housed in a wooden box adorned with brass handles on either side, making it not just a functional tool but a stunning display piece.

The Vintage H Hughes And Son Projector Compass is perfect for collectors. This compass would make a striking addition to any office, especially alongside other nautical treasures.
