A liquid-damped marine steering compass, featuring a red conical card with white markings, housed within a custom-built two-compartment wooden case. The compass card is marked with the maker name “PLASTIMO” and “FRANCE” in white lettering. It features a 360-degree scale with primary numerals every 30 degrees and cardinal direction markings for North, East, South, and West. The compass is mounted in a grey-painted interior compartment, while a lower section features a wooden panel fitted with a brass toggle switch, suggesting an integrated internal lighting system. The case is constructed from stained hardwood, likely mahogany, and is secured by brass hinges and two brass-toned hooks to the exterior.
