Hi Mac,
That must be for a very small dial - can you tell us where is it to be
sited?

Hello Patrick...
This is a Goldilocks size dial---not too big, not too small, just the
right size for the southeasterly facing wall of our house here in
Vermont. ;-)
Actually, it's a vertical declining Foster-Lambert sundial with an
hour-points circle measuring 23 inches in diameter, and housed in an
octagonal case a little over 26 inches across the sides. The rod
gnomon (that 0.188" dia. tubing) is 16 inches long, although I
believe it could've been an inch or so shorter.
Best wishes,
Mac
