Neat idea, they go together.....

1st one is a D.W. Brunton "Gentlemen's Compass" and my favorite old small Climber.
2nd is an old wooden boxed compass and the only Spartan I have that has a place in my heart.....

Sorry man, I would have added these items if I could. But overhere, we have Maggiblokjes instead of oxo cubes, trolls are bad news, and I'm not going to tell you how I lost my red bra last Friday night.

Well, to your defense SG, they are technically SAK's with compass, conjunctionally speaking of course.  :D
