Solid Brass Kelvin &
Hughes 8" Full Size
Sextant
Solid brass
Kelvin & Hughes style sextant. Modeled after the
industry standard sextants produced by Henry Hughes and Lord
Kelvin for over 100 years. Antique finish over solid
brass in a nautical brass inlaid mahogany box. Ships with a
basic set of instructions for use. Has all of the
working parts of an original model. May not be
calibrated well enough for actual navigational use out of
the box but it can be done.
The sextant was
invented in stages over a number of years by several people.
Sir
Isaac Newton
(1643-1727),
John Hadley
(1682-1744), and
Thomas Godfrey
(1704-1749).
