This is a beautiful, working miniature reproduction of a sextant complete with four sun filters, split mirror, and a graticule with a magnifying glass to read the angle. Sextants are used to determine the distance in degrees between the horizon and another object like the sun or a specific star. The angle is then used in calculations to determine your location. This reproduction comes in a custom-made walnut-tone box with a brass anchor ornament inlaid in the top and brass reinforcements at the box corners. This is a beautiful display piece to go with your astronomical or nautical theme, or just for it good looks alone. State: City: Date:
