This Solid Brass Battleship Binnacle with gimballed compass. Iron compensating balls are mounted to brackets. Quite heavy. This Binnacle is from the US Navy. Torpedo Base. WW 2 Vintage solid brass large 1933 binnacle. Will take two men to move. I traced the Binnacle back to Ritchie and Sons. By telephone they confirmed sold to the US Navy for installation. I have not heard back from US Navy records as to which ship (#506) it was installed. See the Link below to compare when cleaned up can be worth 15-20 Thousand Dollars. Asking $4,500.00 as is for it needs to be Polished. Call ask for Pauline or Terry! https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/folk-art/nautical-objects/solid-brass-us-navy-ships-binnacle/id-f_25616832/
