This listing is for 1-20 compasses in the vintage brass (darker patina) or the raw brass (bright golden) style. I carry a number of compasses so be sure to look at the sizes with a ruler in hand to make sure you get the best size.
These gorgeous mini brass compasses measure 1" or 30mm in diameter and 40mm from the top of the ring to the bottom of the compass and are fully functional. These particular compasses are lightweight and make great additions to necklaces or multimedia art projects.
**🎪**These are magnetic compasses….an instrument that is used for navigation and includes a free-floating magnetized needle which, when held level and still, aligns itself with the earth’s magnetic field and in doing so, points approximately north.
“Magnetic North vs True North
“A compass needle will point to the direction of the Magnetic North Pole. But this doesn't mean that a compass always points to the Geographic North Pole. This difference is magnetic inclination. ... It can change so much that the Earth's magnetic field can flip polarity”
GIS GEOGRAPHY
Also, strong magnetic fields, electrical lines, and other factors can cause the needle to waver off course a little.
WHAT IS RAW BRASS VS VINTAGE PATINA or OXIDIZED BRASS
The Raw Brass option refers to the lighter golden colored brass in the photos. Brass naturally oxidizes so some of the raw brass pieces can be slightly oxidized. Using a metal polish or Brasso will bring the color back to the original yellow or red brass, golden tones.
The Vintage Patina option usually refers to very oxidized brass and can vary from lighter coppery brown colors to darker deeper browns. Oxidizing brass prematurely is not an exact science and pieces can vary in color. The pieces you receive may not be the exact shade as in the photos. The lighter and coppery tones will gradually darken over time unless the brass is sealed. The Vintaj glaze and matte sealers will do the job if that is what you need.
