At Christmas I received a stocking stuffer of a small mass produced brass 
dial on a marble base.  I had to unscrew the gnomon to safely pack it in my 
suitcase, and saw underneath the gnomon in almost microscopic letters "F J de 
Vries 1982".  The dial seemed to be a reproduction of an old high latitude 
(>50 degrees) dial.  Several stickers on the dials' underside had fallen of, 
but a remaining sticker said "Made in Taiwan for Authentic Models"

So, is there a story behind this, Fer?
