your fine furniture. The compass measures 2 5/8 inches (6.7 cm) in
diameter, and the overall compass is 3 5/8 inches (9.2 cm) in diameter, 6 1/8
inches (15.6 cm) tall, the base is 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter, and the
compass weighs slightly over one pound (465 grams). This compass is
beautifully detailed, and polished to a high luster and can be great gift item
