Does anyone out there know what this compass is worth?  I may consider selling it.  But am unsure of its value.  Everything works very well and its in excellent condition.

Hi, it is made by Schwab & Wuischpard. I have recently sold 2 on ebay with the original boxes for around $115 a piece. Other than that I do not know any other value on them. Hope that helps.
