We have a WWII vintage wet compass up for sale.

Order No AC-16689

Spec No. 94-27815
Made by Bendix Aviation Corp
Front plate reads:

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.
