A TRIBUTE TO HISTORY: Modeled directly after the original pocket compass designed by D.W. Brunton in 1894. This functional collectible pays homage to the golden age of exploration and the pioneering spirit of the American West. MILLED ALUMINUM CRAFTSMANSHIP: Unlike cheap plastic replicas, this compass features a heavy-duty, milled aluminum body that is durable, scratch-resistant, and built to last generations. The sleek metal housing creates a substantial, premium feel in the hand. PROTECTIVE LIFT ARM: Authentic vintage engineering features a needle lift arm mechanism that automatically locks the needle in place when the lid is closed. This protects the pivot from wear and tear, extending the life of the tool for decades of use. PERFECT FOR ENGRAVING: The clean, unbranded aluminum lid provides the ideal canvas for custom engraving. It is the definitive gift for Eagle Scouts, retirements, graduations, groomsmen, or anyone starting a new chapter in life. PROUDLY MADE IN WYOMING, USA: True to our roots, this piece of history is manufactured in our Riverton, Wyoming facility. Carry a symbol of American independence and quality craftsmanship in your pocket.
