A rare Starfinder marine navigation device, produced by Cary & Co., London, circa 1925. Designed as a celestial globe used to identify stars at sea, it served as an essential tool for navigators in the early 20th century.
The globe is encased in its original mahogany box, featuring a well-preserved surface and functional brass fittings. Constructed from wood, metal, and plaster, the piece remains in original condition with only minor signs of age. The craftsmanship reflects the precision and elegance typical of British scientific instruments from the interwar period.
An exceptional collectible representing the fusion of scientific accuracy and refined design. Reference examples are held in the Whipple Museum of the History of Science, University of Cambridge.
