Back at the turn of the 20th century, compass charms like this one were often used as gentlemen’s watch fobs. Now they are sought after as distinctive, sophisticated pendants. This Victorian example features a clever nautical chain theme, and sports an engraved reverse that’s filled with exuberant scrolls. Bonus feature- should you lose your way, it still works! The “O” for West leads us to believe it is probably Portuguese. Measures 1” across. 9K gold, ca. 1900.
