A familiar auction site has that same model and box up for bid. Presently $50.
Perfect size for my sloop!

That is the spare compass. You can find the story of how Lionel and other manufacturing companies used their assets to support the war. The entire mechanism (the compensating binnacle) that was bolted to the deck in the helm of ship has the ship's compass.
It is a very narrow collectible market. Spend as little as possible.

The one in the picture appears to be cracked and glued...
We were in an antique store yesterday and came across this one. About 7 1/2 in. in diameter. Tag says it was last checked in 1949. No, I did not buy it.
