    I have a pristine, all brass, ships Pelorus. This piece was used to determine relative distance of an object and relative bearing. This is a very rare piece of maritime history. I was told when I purchased it 25 years ago that it was World War II Vintage. Floats on gimbal and works flawlessly. All of the optics are in perfect shape. All brass, high polish, lid included and fully functional. Stands about 4 feet with out cover. Very impressive piece.It weighs 100lbs

    Look for a closed auction on Eboo or realized price at auction house. Eboo asking/starting price can be misleading

    I've seen totally unrealistic prices on objects listed on Feebay. Springfield is absolutely correct. Go to Completed Auctions to see what stuff actually sells for.

    Unfortunately, your first picture turns out tiny when clicked on. CLick on Full Image after uploading and the photos will appear here.
