Product Summary
Manufacturer: American Science & SurplusBrand: American Science & Surplus
Product features:
- A Working Wonder. If we had a category just for customers who lust after Jules Verne inventions and elegant gadgetry, this would be in it.
- The wonderful brass sundial, a reproduction of an antique, is approx 3" dia x 11/16" thick overall, and actually works! A latitudinal gauge lets you tilt the engraved dial to the correct angle for your location, and a bubble and three leveling feet allow the 1-1/2" dia lock-down compass to point in the precise direction.
- And if you never took it out into the sunshine, you'd still love it for the look and logic of it.
Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BRASS SUNDIAL
Customer Review: No sundial paperwork
Summary: 4 Stars
The sundial was well crafted and works just fine, operation was near intuitive. I would have appreciated more of a writeup explaining how (time) accurate the design was and a scientific explanation of why it has time inaccuracies. A little history of sundials would have been nice too.
