WWII Era BRASS Binnacle Navy Compass USN Ship Maritime


AUTHENTIC WWII ERA USN BINNACLE AND COMPASS

OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY!

We found this wonderful piece of American history in a barn! It still has the ORIGINAL battleship grey paint on it! Under the paint is a solid bronze binnacle. We decided to leave the piece as is because we didn't want to tamper with the historical look and feel of it. This auction also includes the compass, manufactured by the John E Hand & Sons company of Philadelphia, PA. The compass has a serial number on it in case you want to try and research it! This is a MUST HAVE for any Naval historian, museum, library, or collector. Would also look wonderful as a display piece in a nautical themed restaurant, bar, or other establishment. These pieces can go for nearly double our asking price, and that's just for the binnacle, not including the compass!

Movie Props and Other Novelty Sculptures and Statues






Here at bigbronze.com we like doing things that others won't. We like to think outside the box when it comes to sculpture. A lot of our bronze statues can't be found anywhere else. We often choose movie style memorabilia or famous faces we think could look good in a certain setting. As pictured above, we've done the idol from Indiana Jones, the skeletons from Jason and the Argonauts, and a Mohammed Ali. If you'd like a movie prop or memorabilia but don't see it anywhere, contact us! We can make it into a real work of art for you.
