I have not been able to find an original from which this was copied. It has made me wonder whether this is some sort of pastiche.
Sara 42°36'N 71° 22'W West Newton, MA 02465 From: JOHN DAVIS [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, March 31, 2013 5:37 PM To: Tony Moss; [email protected]; Schechner, Sara Subject: RE: Sundial At Tower Court, Wellesley College Hi Sara, Your idea of writing up the Wellesley College dial is a good one - I for one would like to know the full story and read your experiences. The replica dial isn't a bad attempt (other than that awful gnomon!) and appears to have been hand engraved. But the details of the Equation of Time scale are missing and the half-hour fleur-de-lys don't have the shape I would expect for a Cole dial. Do you know if the original dial plate still exists?

I have been thinking of writing this up with the Team for the NASS Compendium as a short article on how to approach a dial found in the field. Would that be of interest to others?
