These are quite rare, i have never seen one over here in England, the trouble over here is could you leave one on your jeep without it getting stolen ? :x

I too have seen many on ebay....many with leaking fluid or no fluid in them. This one ever has the windshield divider mounting bracket I've never seen offered on ebay....it is boxed and has the instructions with it. "NOS" usually adds a significant amount of value to a collector that Bubba needing a vehicle compass can't appreciate.

Seller states this is USED. Based on the pictures, I don't think there is fluid in it... I've bought the mounts here on the Gee separate from the compasses.... I'm not sure where you are getting your statement from....

I should not have commented.... I will not pay this much for a hull compass in any condition, but wish the seller best of luck. Sorry for the hijack

Hi luke,

I stated Used because I don’t know 100% that the compass never had been Used over the years. Its got fluid in it but over time some Could be getting out. I recommend it beeing revilled to enjoy it to the fullest! As Said by Chuck he means everything is there to be named NOS. I bought it like this so it Could be NOS but I cannot tell for sure thats why I did not describe it as NOS.
Have a Nice day

Marco
