Description:
- Precious line drawing from the second half of the 19th century. It probably belonged to a compass box.
- The handle is of bone, the body has the head and part of the reeds of a mixture of white metals. The tips of the reeds are made of steel.
- The reeds are in good condition. The distance between the tongues is adjusted by means of a metal wheel with a threaded bolt that runs through the upper tongue, threading into the lower tongue.
- The upper tab can be rotated over the head of the body to facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
- On the upper flap there are three initials inscribed by hand: WRC. These would probably be the initials of the former owner.
- If the object has any Distinctive, Mark or Contrast, it is of great importance to be able to identify data such as its maker, the place where it was made and other details.

Conservation and damage:
- There are small scratches on the tips, due to use.
- The Object shows wear and tear typical of its age.

Comments:
- Measurements and weight are approximate.
- Very interesting as a collector- Due to the unavoidable differences in tonalities between photos and reality, it must be taken into account that the tones of the colours in the photos are not exactly the same as the tones of the real colours.
- The Object for sale is the one that corresponds to the photos, which in turn are complemented in this Description, with the aim of providing a better knowledge of the Object, and never to be a detailed exposition of the same.
- The data provided here are personal opinions not contrasted.
DELIVERIES ARE MADE ON MONDAYS.
