Antiques Sextant

[Carl]

I have an antique sextant Weems and Plath, oak case...anyone know how to find the value on it?

Look for one like it on ebay.

The prices you'll find there will be pretty close to what others would be willing to pay. However, only you can determine its true worth.~ Happy sails to you ~ _/) ~

Got One

I have an old Plath sextant, I think from about 1925. It's not in an oak case, though (lucky you!) but Bakelite instead. Some of these are near-pristine, some junk. Mine is about half-way in between, but workable and should bring $300 - $500. Ebay's the place to check it out, fer shure. (So if you find someone who wants two, yours and mine, you'll let me know, right?!?);-)Michael O'
