Authentic Vintage Style Brass Pocket Compass with Leather Case Rustic Vintage Home Decor Gifts

I bought these as a last minute "stocking stuffer," for my two boys. We are all going our separate ways next summer. My oldest to his own apartment, my youngest to college, and me to a smaller home. We've been the three amigos their whole childhood, and I wanted to give them this compass to tell them that, no matter where each of us ends up, we can always find our way home. Home is wherever we are together. The compasses arrived five minutes ago, and I'm literally a little emotional. I hadn't expected this level of quality. They are absolutely beautiful, and genuinely look as if they are antique. They are heavy, and the pouch is simply beautiful. My only caution is for people to be careful unbuckling the little strap the first few times. It will need to stretch in order to be able to be unbuckled. (It could be due to the cold temperatures they just arrived in, too.) Just let it work a little until it stretches enough to allow the little pin to slip out of the hole, and you're good. I wouldn't force it, though. I'm so grateful these arrived, and will be quality enough to help me make the statement to my boys that I really want to make. Thank you so much!

I wanted an old looking compass for my nephew!This one is great and comes with that cute case!

Will do nicely. Sit it down and after a few seconds it will point to north.

Four out of five are wonderful. The fifth looks great but the needle is off balance. The four will make great gifts.

This was bought for my daughter to gift her friend. The first compass that we received looked fine, but the compass was not functional. The return was quick and easy and the new one worked perfectly and her friend loved it! Has a vintage-y feel to it and the quality looks much better than the price!

Beautifully crafted and sturdy. Bought it for a dirty Santa but decided to keep it for myself.

This is inexpensive, and you get what you pay for. The case is leather and the buckle functions like it is supposed to. The compass itself has a screw-off top (not flip open), and the poem inscribed on the inside of the lid is "The Road Less Traveled" by Robert Frost -- in teeny tiny font. The poem is a nice touch. The problem is that the compass doesn't work. The compass won't give the same reading twice. (I know how to use a real compass for navigation, and this one doesn't work.) In other words: this compass isn't meant to actually be used for navigation -- it's meant to be a symbolic gift. As an inexpensive graduation gift, it's great. As a functional compass, it's useless.

We used as decor in our nursery-better quality than I expected-fast delivery
