Vintage Heavy Duty ES Ritchie 6" Binnacle Compass w/8" Base & Window Spray Hood

Description: Offered here is a very robust vintage 6" binnacle compass made by E.S. Ritchie Inc. of Pembroke Massachusetts. The compass is mounted on a heavy-duty nickel-plated bronze base that is 8" in diameter and 5" high (the bolt circle on the base is 6 3/4"). The base has a heavy spray cover (also nickel-plated bronze I believe) with two sliding windows. The 12v compass light is currently wired to a 12v to 120v converter for a wall outlet and use as a shelf display. The wiring is quickly converted back to 12v for wiring to a boat power system. This compass is very heavy at 17 lbs 4oz (7.824kg). I would estimate this compass was made in the 1960's or 70's (about 50 to 60 years old). This compass is suitable for a boat 40' or longer. If not used on a boat, it makes for a great display piece. I used it for both. This size and style compass from Ritchie new sells for over $1500 US I sell mostly USED and UNIQUE vintage or antique items. Expect minor evidence of use or imperfections, wear, dings etc. from age.
