I was looking through some of my old sundial catalogs and came across a 1981Sundials catalog from New Ipswich, New Hampshire 03071. Are they still in business?
I found the sundial I was looking for in this catalog with a sundial called "The Williamsburg" on page 15 with the following description: "When the Colonialists ordered their clocks from English clockmakers, they arrived with a small sundial. The dial was the standard time which was used in initially to set the new clock then used to maintain the clock's accuracy. These dials were commonly called "windowsill sundials." The Williamsburg is a 3" minature reproduction in Stieff pewter of the original in Williamsburg, VA J10024 $15.95 ppd." The pictured sundial just had a triangle gnomon with three holes in the dial plate for mounting the sundial.
Is the description a true statement? Is this sundial still available for sale? Are their any American made clock companies that gave out sundials with their clocks?
Thanks very much,
