Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the link. It certainly seems similar, if slightly different,
from what I take to be the Indian 'knockoff' that you've found. Perhaps
we should all get one...for future use!
It does seem evident that these are all made for the higher latitudes in
the Northern Hemisphere. So I tried to imagine using it horizontally as
a vertical dial for Down Under.
I'll let you know what it went for after the auction tomorrow.
best wishes,
Peter

Rather curious to know what it makes finally, from what I can see it
looks to be a modern novelty very similar to this one currently out of
stock on the Internet

Hi,
This walking stick with sundial, compass (and flask) is coming up
for sale at an Adelaide auction house. Bids are already above
their modest estimate of sale price.
best wishes,
Peter
