Found a vintage brass compass with a dark brown leather case this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Biloxi Lighthouse on Beach Blvd. The compass is about 2 inches in diameter, with a glass face and a worn brass finish that has a little patina. There's a small engraving on the back that looks like 'J.S. 1923' and a frayed tassel on the leather strap. It clearly seems like part of a collector's item, maybe from a maritime enthusiast. If you're the owner, drop me a line at [email protected] and tell me what you remember about it, and we can arrange a meetup in Gulfport or Biloxi to return it.
