Product code: RARE Antique Hand Held Drum Sextant w/Light store and Case - Marine Compass Company.
Up for sale is one (1) RARE Antique Hand Held Drum Sextant w/Light and Case - Marine Compass Company. This Sextant is in Very Good or better condition as pictured. Selling it as-is because I have no idea how to use it. The vertical handle at the base doubles as a tiny light (no battery included), so that you can read the Arc and Vernier measurements at night. Louis A. Sherman founded the Marine Compass Company and concentrated on producing smaller instruments for commercial and fishing vessels as well as the emerging yachting store markets. 1951 Marine Compass Company purchased E.S. Ritchie & Sons. The two companies consolidated all operations under the name E.S. Ritchie and Sons and is still owned by the Sherman Family. The company is currently owned by Paul Sherman, grandson of Louis A. Sherman.
