This is for an unusual and interesting old brass box in the form of a domino. It has the three & four on the base and five and six on the top and at the very end it has a tiny miniature compass. I have never seen a compass so small, we have had lots of miniature compasses, but this one is no bigger than a match head. The box is really well made, it has avery nice sturdy feel to it, the lid slides away from the top side-ways and it is very firm. There is storage inside for maybe matches or snuff or pills, i am not sure, and there is a link on one end to hang it from a chain. It is in absolute excellent condition with no damage to it anywhere, and it has a nice warm unpolished patina to the brass, the compass is working fine too. It measures 58mm (2.3") by 25mm (1") and stands 9mm (0.3") deep.
