Antique Wrought Iron Welder
s Trade Sign
Located in Montreal, QC
This large double side Welder's Mask Sign hung outside a iron mongers work shop boldly visible for the coming and going. Supported by heavy chains the mask sign was eerie and a bit sinister and not for the faint hearted. The banging and trunking of metal being forged into their desired shapes, along with sparks flying through the soot filled air. You only dared to enter if you were ready to conduct business in the creation of your project.

U.S. Navy Alidade Pelorus Stand by Sperry Gyroscope Company, Mark XXXI, Mod 0
Located in Los Angeles, CA
An exceptional example of mid-20th-century naval navigation technology, this U.S. Navy Bureau of Ships Self-Synchronizing Alidade Pelorus Stand was manufactured by the renowned Sperry Gyroscope Company, Brooklyn, New York, a key supplier of precision instruments for the U.S. military.
This instrument, Mark XXXI, Mod 0, Serial No. 320420, was built under Navy contract NXss 17019 and bears its original inspection tags, confirming it passed rigorous Navy testing before deployment.
The pelorus stand is crafted in a striking combination of polished aluminum and solid brass, featuring a protective domed brass cover that reveals a beautifully preserved gyrocompass repeater dial. Designed to interface with a ship’s gyrocompass, the self-synchronizing mechanism allowed navigators to take precise bearings on landmarks, celestial objects, or other ships—critical for accurate positioning before the advent of modern satellite navigation.
This piece reflects the height of WWII and early Cold War-era maritime engineering, used aboard larger Navy vessels to aid in navigation and fire control plotting. Sperry Gyroscope was synonymous with precision during this era, and their equipment remains iconic among naval historians and collectors.
The instrument retains:
