Victorian Curb Chain Compass Fob

"It may be I never learned geography the better to map my own routes and discover my own lands. The unknown was my compass. The unknown was my encyclopedia. The unnamed was my science and progress.” - Anaïs Nin Cool antique compass pendant dating from the latter half of the 19th century, circa 1880. The compass is bordered by a ring of curb-link chain, and is fully functional - still pointing north to help guide you back to your true love, to home (or, indeed, them back to you). Era: Victorian, circa 1880 Size: 3.5cm by 2.6cm Marks: None, gold plated base metal Condition: Good antique condition; light wear consistent with age including some rubbing to the gold plating
