A MUST-HAVE Indiana Jones item!!!

I stumbled upon this while searching for pages about transits.
(Yeah, I know I'm a loser) It is an antique-finish brass compass
that is hand-made to highest quality specifications by a company
in California, who pattern their products on those of a British
company that made such items in London over a hundred years ago.
The company is called Stanley London.
The particular item that I discovered is a compass that looks
like something Indiana Jones would have carried. You never see
him with a compass in the movies, but he does use one in the
books, if I recall. Kind of like how, in Peril at Delphi, he
carries a backpack, but never in the films. Well, I took the
liberty of making the C.C. Filson Rucksack Indy's "official"
backpack, as it looks like something he would have had. And
the quality is certainly there.
Anyway, check out this URL and try to tell me that this
isn't a really cool-looking, functional, and high-quality
item that our hero might have carried? I'M ordering one!!!
