I've just acquired a very nice piece of dialling ephemera. It is a trade catalogue, 8 inches by 5 inches high, entitled "Where SunDials are Made".
It describes, with illustrations, text and in some cases prices, of sundials (vertical, annalematic (yes, spelt that way), combination (horizontal and annalematic), universal) and pedestals available from E.B.Meyrowitz, optician of New York (3 addresses), St. Paul, Minneapolis and Paris. There are 13 interior pages with illustrations and text, and a nice illustrated cover. The only indications of date are 1902 on the vertical sundial and "Copyright 1908 by E.B. Meyrowitz" on the back cover.
I'm happy to photocopy this and send a copy to anyone who sends me £2, 5 Euros, or $5 cash (sorry - I don't want to pay the horrendous bank charges on small cheques) to cover the cost of copying and postage and packing.
