Description

A good example of a boxed set of Naval navigation instruments dating from the late 19th Century. The set contains an ebonised wooden parallel ruler and a rolling ruler, both used by mariners and cartographers to draw equidistant parallel lines and plot directional courses across nautical charts when plotting ship courses and reading compass bearings. There is also a large brass plotting compass and a further bone handled draughting tool.
The set is contained within its original mahogany box with sections for each instrument. It has a brass plaque on the top engraved "Deputy Judge Advocate of the Fleet" with the military broad arrow beside it. The rulers are also stamped D.J.A.F and carry the broad arrow. The maker's name is emblazoned in gold on the blue silk lining of the lid "Geo. Lee & Son, Navigation Instrument Makers, The Hard, Portsmouth".
The whole set is in good condition for its age. It has obviously been well looked after and all the instruments are in good condition. There is some minor wear and light tarnishing on some of the metal parts but nothing detrimental. The box is in good condition with just some minor marks and light wear to the lining and overall it displays very well.
Approximate Measurements (box) :
Height : 1 1/2" / 4cm
Length : 16" / 41cm
Width : 4" / 10cm
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
