1950's German Navy Ships Compass - 25+ Pounds - Highly Accurate - Priced 2 Sell on 2040-parts.com
Coupeville, Washington, United States
|
I found this gem at an estate sale of a retired ships captain who no longer wanted to keep it. He told me that it was off a German naval Ship but could not remember the name. It's dated to the early 1950's and is highly accurate as I tested North with a couple of other compasses that I had laying around. The thing weighs over 22 pounds alone and with packing it should go at 25+ pounds. Solid brass circling the dial face and normal scraping to the body. Comes with a canopy cover [ I guess for night time ] and priced 2 sell. Thanks for viewing and good luck. P.S. shipping will be charged a flat rate of $75.00 based on the weight and includes insurance.

VW Golf GTD (2013) first pictures of diesel hot hatch
Thu, 21 Feb 2013VW's Golf GTD - a performance diesel brother to the GTI hot hatch - is here. Rated at 182bhp and 280lb ft, it boasts more punch than the old GTD (an extra 12bhp and 14lb ft), and scores better fuel economy too: up 14mpg to 67.3mpg, if you opt for the six-speed manual gearbox. Could this be the Holy Grail of hot hatches, with punch and economy? Here's the lowdown.
