It could be an indication for equal hours in the morning and unequal hours
(antique hours) in the afternoon: the fifth hour ... the fourth hour ... the

Not antique! Im fairly certain it was made by J P Gunning, of Petersfield,

British Sundial Society.
Otherwise a perfectly serviceable instrument.
