About the Item
Two solid brass taffrail spinners with braided rope and coupling used to send data back to the shipboard log. The blade is engraved "NEGUS NEW TORK" with a large "N" also. This unit has been meticulously polished and lacquered. The taffrail spinner would be attached via a coupling and rope to the mechanical "log" which would be attached to the taffrail (the stern railing on a vessel) and would record speed and distance travelled. Unique piece of nautical decor. Circa 1940.
Overall dimension: 14 inches long by 5 inches… overall length with rope is 42 inches.
