Hi,

My questions relate to the mass-produced cast pewter dials that were apparently commonplace in 18th and 19th century in North America. A 1762 example is shown at https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/510d47d9-50fb-a3d9-e040-e00a18064a99#

Were these dials normally cast as a single piece, as opposed to, for example, the dial face and gnomon being cast separately and then soldered together? Are any molds known to have survived? If so, where held?

Sunny days,

Steve
