    This item I found at an estate sale. I have tried to find out what it is and the best I can come up with is a early 1900's German pocket mirror / compass combo. The item is clearly marked made in Germany in the face of the compass. The back has a mirror. The paper has started to strip away, but i'd rather keep it original than try to fix an item like this. I believe it's from the 1920's, but do not know much about it. It still works too!

      Hi,
      I have one very similar, there are some differences like mine has an arrow in the left of Narrow, and the magnet has been inverted (now it point to the south)

      I has a gift from the grandfather of my father, probably early 1910.

      I don`t have so much clues about that.
