A brass looking sundial compass, that used to belong to an aunt I never met (she passed around 1983). It is clearly worn and a bit dusty, but the cover was on snugly for most of the past 40 years so it has not seen much light or wear in that time. The numerals on the sundial appear to be extremely lightly stamped into place and still legible and clean to read, with minimal embroidery. The more ornate backing for the compass appears to be paper. The needle may need re-magnetizing, it spins freely but doesn't appear to hold direction well. The "hand" for the sundial freely moves to the standing position, with springs or similar binding it in place standing or laying down without issue. The paper backing does have a signature on it, but it's old and clipped so while it may be _W. London_, I'm not convinced. No markings on the back, sides, top of the lid, or inside the lid.

3" wide and 7/16" tall, without the lid.
