Product Description

•••••
A fine and rare maritime instrument patented by J.W. Strange of Bangor, Maine, dated patent 1876. The course reckoner instrument combines a protractor and a T-square which enables the navigator to use a single instrument to set the desired course rather than separate instruments. Retains the original gilt laquer over brass. Stamped J. W. Strange on the T-square. Comes in the original oak storage box with a brass 'SESTREL' label (chandlery) on the inside of the box. T-bar measures 16 inches in length.

*The company was an innovative metal manufacturer that patented a number of devices in the last quarter of the 19th century.

                                             From the Capt. Edward L. Greenwood Maritime Collection
