German Compass WWII

[randazzo1]

Went to an estate sale at noon today. Local estate sale company was running it. Managed to nab a bunch of jewelry and this cool WWII marching compass from Germany. Compass is in excellent shape.

Wow price must have risen on those recently. My last 2 sold for around $60 each both A type one with, one without a lanyard. 1-2 years ago. Nice.

May well still be the deal. That’s just a listing. I ‘d def be happy with $60. I was surprised they sold it so cheap at the sale. It was a musician’s estate and I guess everybody was focused on the instruments etc. The compass is marked “CXN”. It was on the junk table (with all the men’s jewelry) so I googled CXN COMPASS and was dumbfounded to see it dated to WWII. Easy buy. But i might keep it.

I didn't realize it was just a listing. I feel a little better now, lol. Slim pickings around here lately, for the most part.

Seems like here we have great weeks and then terrible weeks with little in between. Weather is also an annoying factor - be it heat like you suggested, or rain or toooooo nice out.
