Based on His Dark Materials trilogy of books by English author Philip Pullman here is my own unique replica design of the symbol reader, the truth measure, the Golden Compass.
"It was very like a clock, or a compass, for there were hands pointing to places around the dial, but instead of the hours or the points of the compass there were several little pictures, each of them painted with the finest and slenderest sable brush."
Description of the Alethiometer:
The Alethiometer, nicknamed the symbol-reader, was a compass-like device that was used to communicate with Dust and find truthful answers to one's questions.
The name of the object comes from the Greek aletheia (truth) and meter (measure).
This is a great gift for this cult movie lover or for anyone adventurous and of course for truth seekers ;-)
“Perhaps some particles move backward in time; perhaps the future affects the past in some way we don't understand; or perhaps the universe is simply more aware than we are.”
The compass is fully functional and points to the magnetic north.
Opening mechanism like an old pocket watch.

Brass Sextant with Compass - J SCOTT LONDON -1753 with Hardwood Box
A sextant is a doubly reflecting navigation instrument that measures the angular distance between two visible objects.
The primary use of a sextant is to measure the angle between an astronomical object and the horizon for the purposes of celestial navigation.
Making this measurement is known as sighting the object, shooting the object, or taking a sight.
The angle, and the time when it was measured, can be used to calculate a position line on a nautical or aeronautical chart.
A common use of the sextant is to sight the sun at noon to find one's latitude.
This is a replica of Original Sextant, all parts are moving, can be used for basic observation or suitable for collectors
Item is antiquated not an antique
Sextant measurements: 13cm(L) x 12cm (W) x 7cm( H)
Weight : 475 gr
Size of Box : 15cm (L) x 14cm( W) x 8cm (H)
