Anybody know where to find a nice bronze compass to go along with a nice 1942 sailboat?

Personally I'd be inclined to look for a new bronze compass that can be repaired when needed and parts that are available today, unless it's fo a coffee table.

Know where to find one, Chan? AGA Correa sells a bronze telltale compass, but that's the only one I know of.

Here's a brass box compass. Mr. White will work with you to get whatever you want, great company. We've got a Dirigo in a box we use on our catboat, and it's the best. The brass is almost too pretty for daily use.
