Early (1600-1700s) Carved Navigational Sextant Component with Angles and Monogram cantonese This to me very muchI really love measuring tools of all sorts, and know there are a few of you out there who do, too and this is such an old one, I could not resist.

(A moveable arm, probably made of brass, would have attached to the corner from the back.) Really rare
