Jill's biographical index lists Watkins F(rancis) A London instrument
maker who signed undated dials thought to be eighteenth century.
Various affiliations are given and references to dials in the Register.
It will be easier to photocopy the page for you if you need it.

Fellow Shadow Watchers,
My Edinburgh client responded to my query with:
The dial does say F. WATKINS - LONDON. And it does look similar to
the one
you emailed.
She also sent me some jpgs which shows a similar dial plate to Mike
Isaacs' example from Uppark, the National Trust house in West Sussex,
with a VERY similar gnomon. The signature on the Edinburgh example is
in
block letters but in a flowing script on the Uppark example.
To return to my original question, what do we know about F. Watkins
e.g.
active dates, number of dials produced?

P.S. JPEGs on the way to those who asked for them.
