Message:: [QUOTE="rknarr2, post: 625868, member: 9614"]A good friend of my family who was in WWII gave this compass made by W. & L. E. Gurley to my dad who was in Vietnam War.  Ironically, the good friend lived in Troy, NY where this compass was made. The leather bag dimensions are about 6 3/4" x 7 3/4" x 2 1/4" and the compass dimensions are around 5 5/8" diameter, 3/4" height without the underneath pole insert or 2" height with the underneath pole insert  I was wondering how old it might be, if its worth anything and what ship it came off of if not by name maybe by type of ship like aircraft, battle ship etc...?  Thank you.[ATTACH=full]181831[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181832[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181833[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181834[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181835[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181836[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
