Product Description
This is a finely crafted, solid brass sundial and compass in one convenient unit. This unit allows an individual to tell the exact time by taking into account all local variables, a marker to account for the declination of the sun, a sundial, and a compass with a magnetic needle. If properly used, it is a highly accurate timepiece, a perfect partner to the sextant for navigation. It has black enameling for easy viewing and to highlight the beautiful and delicate designwork. There is also a 'lock' to hold the needle in place and prevent damage, and folds for easy carrying. It measures 5 inches at the base and 4 inches across the sundial. When folded it is 2 inches tall, and can unfold to as much as 5 inches. This is a new item, with no problems.  I have personally use this and can confirm it is easy to operate and highly accurate.

This is a well made product that works nicely. It has features that make it a good portable dial.

This sundial has adjustable legs to help in leveling the dial (important for accurate readings), and a nice collapsible gauge for setting the adjustable dial plate to the right latitude. The collapsible gnomon is raised and solar time can be had to within about five minutes. This is quite acceptable for small portable dials, variations of which have been in production for a long time.

Fit and finish on this model is very nice. This gives the sun dial a nice appearance and also makes for ease of use. This dial comes in a nice box that is actually useful. These dials can be damaged easily (the compass is obviously a rather delicate component) and the box protects it in transport. I recommend this nice model.
Attractive Product
