Sextant w-Ivory inlay – Made by Spencer, Browning & Rust. This is a wonderful sextant. The wood is ebony and it has all brass mountings and mechanics. The optics seem to be all good and they are all present. On the ivory pieces as you can see they are marked Spencer, Browning & Rust. Overall the sextant is a little bit dirty – it just looks like it has been well used. I see the handle on the bottom is made of lignum vite and that is one of the hardest woods which were used often in nautical equipment. The sextant is housed in its original case with some other lens in their compartments. The case is in good condition, the mechanics are all very fine. This is a great nautical item dating from the 19th century. The box measures 13” at deepest x 12” at widest x 5” high.
