I looked under "unmarried show hosts" and presto! I had studied Anderson Cooper(gay) for awhile... his hooded eyelids and sparse eyebrows are similar; but he's got sea-blue eyes to the OP's brown; and a perceptible crease in the glabella above the nose whereas the OP pic is smooth. I'll have something sneaky and European shortly, just so Moonlight doesn't gripe!

The world doesn't revolve around the USA you know, you yanks might think it does but most of us don't.

That's just vengeance for WWII when we (indispensble) Yanks were infamously: "over there, overpaid, and oversexed!" My neighbor across the street is 98 yrs old and a widowed 1945 war bride!

Sorry for the overlook. Of the many (5) functions listed in this pocket-sized gizmo, no mention of a sextant nor is it a timepiece. I'm surprised, given your vast maritime knowledge and interests, that you haven't viewed this one of a kind item in a museum Suffice to say, the gentleman who(reportedly) owned it would only have used the best equipment...from the finest equipment maker
