I recently came across a very interesting book in my father's library entitled Kunstuhrmacher in Alt Augsburg. The German text is by Maximilian Bobinger and others. The instruments illustrated include early and ornate clocks, astrolabes and globes. Some of the clocks have sundials included in their design. However, the nature of these instruments suggests that these sundials were not intended to be functional. I scanned the photographs of a few and put them on a web page:
