Solid Brass - IndiaThe compass was first noted in China, referenced in the manuscript Wu Ching Tsung Yao, written in 1040, to “an iron fish” suspended in water that pointed to the south. The earliest reference to a magnetic direction-finding device for land navigation is recorded in a Song Dynasty book dated to 1040-44. This modern version is hand crafted from brass and makes a perfect key chain. 4.5"L x 1.5"Dia Show more
