What this is and is it a antique?
Jason T asked:
Ok. This is the story, my dad found this in a storage and gave it to me. But I have no clue as to what it is. I thought it was a astronomical clock piece or somthing. I checked a couple of sights and couldn’t find anything. The two center pieces rotate around just like the one on the back. There are zodiac signs with alot of numbers and old english letters around it. On the back, it appears to be the same thing with a diffrent patterns and more symbles.

It’s a miniature astrolabe - but I have no idea how old it might be. Offhand, it looks like late 19th century (1800s) manufacture, which would make it an antique; but have an expert check it to be sure.
