Dear Sara,Thanks for information on this rare sundial.The other example by this maker is in the collection of Przypkowski Museum in Jędrzejów in Poland - inventory number MPJ/A/495/1-2.It is an augsburg type dial with a wooden box, which looks to be original. The latitude arc, hour arc and plumb bob of the dial are missing.In the Museum's catalogue description the dial is dated as early 19th century, but based on the compass form and overall appearance I think that it is earlier - rather mid. 18th century. The Dobromil is a small town in the Lwow voivodship of todays Ukraine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DobromylUnfortunately no further details on the maker are known to me.Regards,Maciej LoseOd: "Schechner, Sara" <[email protected]>Do: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>; Wysłane: 23:58 Sobota 2020-09-26Temat: Polish sundial maker G.
