An assortment of pocket compasses featuring various constructions and styles. The collection includes a hunter-style compass with a brass case and a white card dial, bearing the printed marks NEGRETTI and ZAMBRA in two arcs around the centre pivot, fitted with a blued-steel needle and a detached lid. Also included is a white metal compass with a hinged, detached lid, the dial marked with the word FOREIGN below the pivot. A further white metal open-face compass features a dial with a needle tipped with textured white spots, likely for night use, set within a degree scale. The group is completed by a contemporary white metal compass with a high-contrast black dial, featuring a shield-shaped logo containing the characters YCM and the word JAPAN to the lower edge.
