Breton Plotter
This is a Breton plotter, a navigational tool used for plotting courses and distances on charts. The set includes a parallel rule for maintaining consistent lines and two Ordnance Survey maps: ‘Newquay and Boscastle’ Sheet 204 and ‘Truro and Falmouth’ Sheet 204, both at a scale of 1:50,000. These maps and the plotter would have been essential tools for land navigation, surveying, or outdoor pursuits.
Condition and Collectibility
The plotter and maps appear to be of vintage origin, showing signs consistent with age and use. While the condition is not pristine, this adds to the character and appeal for collectors of navigational instruments or vintage maps. This set would be of interest to map enthusiasts, collectors of surveying tools, or those interested in the history of navigation.
