Offered is an antique Star (Boston, MA) functional gyroscope housed in a beautiful teak windowed box with a flawless brass binnacle mounted on the right side.

This nautical device is historic, functional and very decorative, The teak has a warm glow intensified by the brass fittings and binnacle. Very cool!! All sales are final; no international sales.
