We have a WWII vintage wet compass up for sale.
Placard reads:
Order No AC-16689
MFR's Part NO. 1813-1-B
Spec No. 94-27815
Made by Bendix Aviation Corp

Front plate reads:
A.O.U.S.Army
Type B-17
Serial NO. AC-41-587

We got this with a bunch of stuff in Spokane WA. During WWII, Geiger Field was a bomber base (now decommissioned) and Fairchild AFB was an overhaul facility. We believe this explains it's origins. $500 OBO.

Please call Michael at 253-277-1464 or 253-617-5678 with any questions. Pictures emailed upon request.
