Hello! There's a diptych sundial on sale for about 80 euros supposedly dating from 1920.
Do you think this is genuine? I think it is a modern replica. http://anticariatulnou.ro/diverse/antichitati-artizanat-colectionabile/cadran-solar-cu-busola-antica-din-lemn-diptic.html The string does not seem to be adjustable for latitude, I see only one hole (it's fixed at 42 deg.). Why then go through the trouble of printing the latitudes for European cities on the back? One thing I find interesting is the plumb bob and the orifice on the vertical plate. I think it is meant to align the piece to the vertical. I haven't seen this before. Thanks, Dan Uza Romania
