Some of mine...

I had one just like yours in the second picture, Ronald, but I've looked everywhere with no luck :( ???

:nothingtoadd:

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.....

Old pics. I've used this one for many years. It's seen a few miles.

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

I took the liberty of downloading the pic, Gene. I opened it in Picasa Photo Editor and hit the autocontrast button. The result is below, I think it looks much better, at least on my screen.
It makes me wonder who else uses any photo editing software. I almost always do.

Looks a bit like the insert-compass from older Wenger knives...
The metal one at the top here: http://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Wenger+Orienteering+Tool

For everyone but especially the UK guys.....an old Short & Mason Ltd (London) brass compass. Top is pressed on and pushes down a needle lock when on. Only found that the business started in 1864 and I guess dissolved in 1901. Very solidly built.
The 2nd is an Airguide Pocket compass that is induction (magnetically) damped. Works well and very solid......made in the USA in the 40’s or 50’s I think (pre zipcode).
3rd is an earlier version of the Wenger Orienteering tool (compass is different) on an old Matterhorn Plus. They will all point to the same North when they are not bunched up.......😜 :cheers:
