This charming silver object has three functions since it works as a money clip, but also has a built-in compass and a sundial. My husband noted that it could also have been clipped on a road map, which would help with determining the correct placement of said map. All in all, it makes the perfect travel companion!
It was created by Mappin Paris, the French branch of the famous British silver company Mappin & Webb.
