For your consideration from the estate of a WWII & Korean War Army Air Corps and Air Force Gunner is this original World War II era Compass pulled as a souvenir when the war was over. I’m not sure what type of aircraft this came from but he crewed in bombers flown out of Boise , Idaho searching the West Coast for Japanese hot air balloons. This piece measures about 3.75 inches in length, 3.0 inches in diameter and weighs 1.5 pounds. It appears to be in working condition or at least the gauges move whenever I move the piece. I included photographs of all the stenciled and stamped information which indicate that this item was placed into service during WWII. Please see my other listings for more WWII & Korean War gauges and uniform pieces from the same estate. I will begin the auction at a reasonable starting bid, with no reserve, and the gauge will be sold to the highest bidder. And please don’t ask to end the auction early. Please see my other listings for more vintage airline items from the same source. California residents please add 7.50% sales tax. Thank you and
