Hi Fred et al, I too saw this posting and contacted the chap who posted it. From his description, this is definitely NOT one of the set of four dials that John Rowley made for Blenheim Palace c1710.
In fact, I strongly suspect that what he has is one of the 20C Pearson-Page "reproductions". If this is so, I would regard the Blenheim connection as "added colour"!
