Extremely Rare La 17th Early 18th Century Z Dutch Netherlands Marine Compass

Posted by admin On April 26, 2021

Swimming in the right direction? Extremely Rare Late 17th Early 18th Century Dutch Netherlands Marine Compass!!!! I say amaZingly because it is one of the most advanced designs of compasses for its time that I have come across! The needle is half white steel and half blackened steel, the white portion points North perhaps since Europeans are generally speaking white at that time, while the South is blackened since the south is primarily inhabited by darker folks, regardless the two different colors make it much easier and thus faster to differentiate between North and South, and the shape of the needle makes it much easier to follow even by someone with poor eye sight, extremely intelligent. Most likely created for the Dutch East India or Dutch West India Company, which could not function with-out such devices, the GPS of its time. It is the only compass I have eVer seen with a Z for south (Zuiden), which clearly and definitively indicate the compass is Dutch. The measurements of the wooden case are approximately 10.2 cm x 9.35 cm x 3.55 cm (4″ x 3 10.8/16″ x 1 6.5/16). The brass ring surrounding the compass is approximately 8.75 cm (3 7/16) in diameter. On the brass portion, the decorations, lines, and arabic numerals were all hand engraved by one of the worlds unknown but best compass makers I have eVer encountered. I have seen a Dutch? Compass, I inserted a question mark because the South was an S and not a Z, and of what I deem of much lesser quality fetch a sum of approximately 55 thousand USDs! So price-wise this beauty is a gift! The wooden case box is partially cracked on both sides, the crystal glass has some scratches as can be observed on the upper right quadrant of the second image and the upper left quadrant of the 5th image, and some points of oxidation (darker colored areas), but remains a fully functional and beautiful compass worthy of any museum! A great addition to any museum quality marine or scientific collection! Definitely a gift for any high level intellectual mind! Please feel free to check out my other Museum Quality Collection. For the year of our Lord 2019 I wish you a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Sail Wisely & God Bless.

Extremely Rare Wooden Early Antique Folk Art Doll 50cm/20 Inches As Found. Hard to find early wooden folk art doll, she dates from around 1820. She has such a lovely presence to her. Wooden head and shoulder plate carved from one piece of wood. Lovely long neck carved features with sweet smile and carved ears. Remnants of her original paint. She reminds me of an early type Izannah Walker doll. But she was made in the UK (probably Scotland) as I have had similar dolls before but they are so hard to find now. I hope someone can restore her legs and she would be really amazing. Dressed in very simple old cream dress with pink smock type top. Condition: Lower legs missing. Right hand one finger missing.

#009 Extremely Rare Early Gledhill Brook 13362 Fusee Time Recorder Wall Clock

Posted by admin On August 5, 2020

I have for sale one of the very first Gledhill Brook oak cased clocking in machines ever made, and looking in my book containing the company serial numbers, this could even be a prototype for future models, as in January 1918 when general production started, the very first serial number was 13800, this machine has the serial number 13362. The solid oak case has been thoroughly stripped and cleaned, finished off with a thorough dark oak beeswax. All the locks and keys, including the lock for the In/Out bar work perfectly and securely. The Gledhill T-bar crank handle is also present. All the brassware has been dipped in horological cleaner, and now sparkles like new. The heavy solid brass Empire chain fusee movement is clean, has been checked, oiled, and is operating perfectly with an excellent swing from the pendulum. Timekeeping is of course excellent from a mechanism of this quality. The heavy cast iron printer has been cleaned, and the blue ribbon re-inked. This printer is a rare item due to it having not just the common hour/minute/day wheels, but also the date and month, not many of these types around. The printer stamps the information on the card as shown in the photos. This unit is in excellent condition, fully operational, and comes with all its keys. Included are 5 clocking in cards. I do have 2 seperate metal card holders (not advertised) if required for sale. Dimensions are 43″ high by 19″ wide by 11 deep. This has to be collection only due to its weight. I can work around whenever suitable without a problem. If you have any questions relating to this item or any of my other items for sale, please contact me on 07758885795.
