Item Description
Here is a great marine/nautical navigational device called a Hezzanith Sextant for your buying consideration.  Would make a great gift for a special occasion or keep for yourself!''
Nice Heath & Company Brass Hezzanith Sextant for you here along with the original wood case.
The navigational instrument is made of brass and metal.  The label on the case says the sextant was made in 1928 by Heath & Company of Teddington, England.   Has the serial number of J352.  Original label on the inside of the case from National Physical Laboratory when made.
The sextant has a wood handle to hold the instrument by.  The wood case is intact, the top is securely attached to the bottom by the hinge.
What you see is what you get.  Not sure if the instrument, lenses, or any accessories are all here or not.
Certainly not saying if operational or not.  Being sold as a great antique piece that might require refurbishing to be usable again.
A brass carrying handle on one side of the case.  Turn lock latches on the front of the case operate.  A brass escutcheon on the top of the case, not engraved.  Has remnants of a paper label on the side of the case.   The case appears to be made of mahogany wood.
Nice wood case that this Sextant comes in.  Has some surface scratching and finish loss.  Lock mechanism is in case, no key.
The lock latch hooks up on the right side of lock, so requires some effort to get the top opened at times.
The wood top has a few splits to the wood that emanate from the screws that hold the top's top to the sides.  Some of the wood brackets to hold the pieces are a little loose or loose and will need some gluing attention.
The colored glass lenses are in place.  Show dirtiness and scratches.  The mirrors show back loss.
The Sextant Case is 11.5" across, by 5.25" tall, by 11" wide.  The Sextant itself without scopes in place
is 9.5" across, by 4.5" tall by 10-1/8" wide.
Here is some brief information about the history and use of a Heath & Co sextant;
The company was bought by the W F Stanley Company in the 1920s. Today such instruments are still used aboard US Navy warships at times when using active radar, GPS is unavailable.
