Description

All instruments are stamped with Compass/Germany. Instruments are clean and very sharp. This set appears to have been little-used from the complete lack of wear and tear on the inlay mold holding the instruments as well as the velvet covering and outer case. The faux leather is in excellent condition with one 'ding' on lower left corner. Snaps are like new. Still has the polishing rag marked ComPass Precision Instruments "Germany".

Upper right hand corner of front flap seems to read "807" which I assume was the model stamp. Somewhat faint.

Plastic capsule holding extra leads is full and untouched as is the capsule of extra point tips, screws and thumbscrews. Two mechanical pencils (assume silver plated or painted)show some peeling. Small rust spots appear on the three compass "rings" (see photo).

I do not know the age of this kit, I'm assuming 40's or later. All in all, VERY CLEAN!
