Sundial Compass by Gilbert & Sons (London) used for antikythera mechanism model and astrolabe instrument functional. Another lovely vintage-style Brass compass with an antique finish, this time as a royal valuable gift item. This item has a really appealing appearance! and It's packaged in a luxurious wooden compass box and meant to be used as a decorative element and nautical décor.This is Replica 5’’ Sundial Compass, this type of Sundial Used in Europe and England since the 1100s's they crossed the Atlantic with early explorers of the Americas. The sundial and the compass are two completely different instruments, built for different purposes.The sundial is an instrument designed for a specific location on earth and permanently installed there, on which the shadow of one of its parts indicates the hour of the day (while the sun is up and making shadows). The compass is an instrument used for navigation. It includes a free-floating magnetized component which, when held level and still, aligns itself with the earth's magnetic field and in doing so, points approximately north. A sundial compass is a portable sundial attached over a compass via a hinge. There are some adjustable legs that need to be used to level the instrument if not on level ground.The gnome is hinged and needs to be put in the up position where it locks into place. There should be what look like a protractor that is to the right of the gnome that is on a hinge. That to needs to be flipped up as well. The protractor is used to set the sundial to the correct latitude angle. The compass is to find true north based off of the area's magnetic north declination. Once the instrument has been leveled, set to the correct latitude, and to true north just observe the shadow that is cast on to the sundial's face by the gnome. For those in the southern hemisphere, everything is the same except you will want to find true south instead.Sun Dial Compass with sunclock Direction a good piece for Travelers & adventure

The compass doesn't point North - not sure why? And yes, I know the difference between North and Magnetic North, but this one aligns on East-West, not North-South (I have adjusted the clamp, but it makes no difference). The rest seems functional enough.
