    Hello Laurence, Ken Gamble was quite a character, he did have a Harvard but it is long gone, that picture is the remains of a Fairchild Cornell , a trainer used in the BCATP. Our friend on this forum Fleet16b(Cam Harrod) is looking after all remaing stuff any inquiries could be made to him, he is quite an enthusiast himself, cheers Darrell

    Was your grandfather in the service? the compass was probably used in training aircraft for the BCATP, used in a variety of aircraft from Tigermoths to Hurricanes, in the box as you have roughly 40-100 dollars realistically( but worth what someone will pay right? there is about one every week on the bay), they are not super rare but are useful collectables, good luck Darrell
