Vintage Sestrel Compass with Oil Burner

This vintage Sestrel compass came from a working vessel and was made in England. It features a solid brass body with a naturally aged patina. The compass card floats freely in its original fluid, and it still works. This makes it a solid choice for collectors, restorers, or anyone looking for a functional maritime piece.

The compass has a 4″ glass face, and the front viewing glass on the housing measures 4.5″. There are surface scratches on the housing glass, including one that stands out. However, you can still view the compass clearly. The lettering is faded but still readable.

One useful detail is the original side-mounted oil burner. It includes the oil chamber, which is still in place. This adds to the piece’s authenticity and completeness.

Overall, this item is a great example of durable British marine equipment. Whether you’re into nautical antiques or just want a conversation piece, this one brings real ship history to your space.
