In the foreground from the top: cross staff; sextant with bronze frame; repeating circle; ebony quadrant; probably London maker; backstaff; Tamaya micrometer sextant (the case gives it away); ? Cassens and Plath micrometer sextant; something in a yellow box, perhaps an emergency kit or locator beacon.
In the background from left to right: terrestrial globe; star globe, probably Soviet but also made by C Plath; binnacle, compass, hand-bearing compass and tell tale compass; unidentifiable bits and pieces.
