A fine example of the Creagh Osborne Type 5/17 air compass, by the renowned instrument makers Hughes & Son Ltd - London.

In excellent untouched original condition, and most importantly, including the correct mounting bracket with shock absorbing felt washers. It also has a small lamp fitted for night use.

The compass bowl and interior are in good order, with some light corrosion to the shaft and balance weights. It has been drained of liquid at some point, but is easily refilled.

A rare opportunity to find a complete 5/17 compass.
