My Father was in the Boy Scouts during WW II and still have this compass in the original box. It was manufactured by Taylor Instrument Companies Rochester, N. Y. at a cost of $1.25. One other interesting thing Boy Scouts had to learn was airplane black silhouettes to determine our planes - have five of these paperback books.
Good video! In your example with your declination as 3 degrees west, did you turn the bezel to the east or west?
I have that exact same compass from when I was a Scout in the 60'show do I figure what the degrees of declination ( sp ? ) for Central Texas would be ?.
I just found my grandfather's boy scout member card from 1930 do u know anything about them?
I love it LOL I bought one from EBay for 9.00 ( a good deal I thought considering that included shipping) It came in the original box and the original price stamped on it was $1.65. LOL inflation but I think I'll use my 1970's area Silva ;o)
Nice info blackie
That is a great little piece of history, I'm glad it's found it's way to someone who truly appreciates it and will use it.
3 degrees east or west Of 0 degrees.I think I read somewhere that it changes every year or so.
Taylor has always been a super instrument to keep from getting lost. lol I found mine in a army-navy surplus store.
My wife found one of these in the original box at a thrift store
Great explanation. My 1948 Handbook has that compass pictured. I've never seen one until now. Thanks
Sometimes I think you and I are just tuned in to the same wavelength. I was just in the last 2 days playing around and experimenting with 2 old boy scout compasses. I was even thinking about possibly doing a video on them. I really enjoyed this one and especially because you are demonstrating that you don't have to have the latest/greatest in navigational tools to get the job done. If you can do the job with an older, more simple compass then you will be that much better off when you go back to something with more features. Thank you for the video Blackie.
Cool vid , 10x
Good video. I always learn something from your vids. Keep up the good work and thanks for the great videos.
My dad had a BSA book just like that,,We referred to it at times along with a "newer "book way back while I was in the Then I also learned compass skills from the military
great video. thanks for sharing
Even something not designed to be high end expensive gear back then will today outperform and outlast the latest and greatest from China. I am  proud of America's past and it hurts to see any of it lost to political agendas and crazy stuff. The Boy Scouts of America helped a lot of kids grow up to be good men. A part of my soul wants to believe that one day a generation will emerge that looks back and sees what was and with a fire in their hearts reclaims what has been lost.
I use a replica of a early brass pocket compass I may have to look and see if I have my dads boy scout compass I have always liked simple designs. I have only recently started using gaps maps. I still always carry a compass and map of were I am and will never stop as they do not need batteries.
Nice.
Excellent information Blackie. I learned a lot. Thanks for posting.  ken

Truly entertaining! This guy knows nothing about what he is talking about, but the entertainment value was top notch My suggestion to you fine sir is that you actually learn about what it is you are trying to review. Your credibility for anything else you might review on YouTube is now ZILCH. Congratulations! :-)
There seems to be so many people on Youtube reviewing and teaching how to use these types of compass who have clearly never used one before
You truly do not know what you are talking about .
Actually there is a lense inside the piece he too off at 7:28 that you can look into to see the marking on the rounded edge. He missed that. And that exact thing is pretty cheap in India like 6USD or something.
I don’t like the metric system.
MORON! DONT GIVE A CRAP WHAT ITS MADE OF. WE WANT TO KNOW HOT TO USE IT./. OMFG. WHAT A USELESS VIDEO
OMG the blind leading the blind
Get lost
What did I just watch. I will never get those 10 minutes back.
Junk
This guy is clueless. He knows nothing about compasses or navigating by them
I know what i bought.
Can somebody tell me the official name for these compasses with the little eye-hole for sighting the bearing? I want to find an expensive one that isn't junk like this eBay crap.
PRAT! 10:16 of my life GONE, Just like that.
Look. We don't need another asshole spewing verbal diarrhea. Get your shit together and know where you're going with your talk. 0 information, excessive verbiage. You stink. Lots to learn.
With your expertise, and now that you've acquired the best compass made, you should really consider starting your own Guide business.
Haha, That's a really cheap compass mate! I don't think you have seen many compasses ;)
WOW, I think the comments cover the subject of this video well. Read comments before watching.
Bruh we don't need to know about the materials this compass is made out of. JUST TELL US HOW TO USE IT
After absorbing this fascinating insight into modern mountain men, its revealed that we are truly not worth saving.
Sandiego
Hero man

So funny. Really nicely made. Thank you.
WTF
LMAO. how funny was that. so entertaining, and informative :-D
This seems like something Dwight Kurt Shrute will say to Philip. This is from the tv show THE OFFICE

It's quite complicated for smaller cubs.
Horse shit
IT SHOULD BE IN HINDI
