| Lionel #75 compass for pelorus. Made in 1943 for the U.S. Navy, it was designed to sit in a floor mounted stand and was used to take the ship's bearings. At a whopping 31lbs, this is not a light piece of equipment so, due to the rarity and fragility, we WILL NOT SHIP this piece - collection only. Grey finish on casing stamped "U.S. NAVY BU. SHIPS STANDARD NO. 1 COMPASS MK.I MOD.I 14435 1943 THE LIONEL CORPORATION N.Y.". Not just a piece of Lionel memorabilia, but a piece of WW2 history to boot! |
