Beautifully crafted brass nautical compass made by the Franklin Mint in 1991 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus\'s discovery of America in 1492.
This ornate reproduction of his original compass is made of brass on a wood base. The compass itself is set inside the round brass frame and pivots up and down. The needle doesn\'t work properly and is just for display. The decorative brass base reads \"Discovery of America - 500th Anniversary - 1492 - 1992\". The bottom has the original gold label reading \" THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA COMEMORATIVE COMPASS -© 91 FM\".
It stands 7.5\" tall on a 5.5\" diameter round base, and weighs 1.5 lbs.
A terrific display piece for your home or office.
