This is a brass pocket compass marked "Stanley London 1915", featuring a hinged lid and a decorative star compass rose. Stanley London is known for producing high-quality reproduction navigational instruments, and this piece is likely a modern reproduction of an early 20th-century military or field compass.

The solid brass construction adds weight and durability, and the aged patina gives it an antique appearance. These compasses are often used as collector’s items, display pieces, or functional navigation tools.
