Product Summary

Manufacturer: American Science & Surplus
Brand: American Science & Surplus
Product features:
  • A Working Wonder. If we had a category just for customers who lust after Jules Verne inventions and elegant gadgetry, this would be in it.
  • The wonderful brass sundial, a reproduction of an antique, is approx 3" dia x 11/16" thick overall, and actually works! A latitudinal gauge lets you tilt the engraved dial to the correct angle for your location, and a bubble and three leveling feet allow the 1-1/2" dia lock-down compass to point in the precise direction.
  • And if you never took it out into the sunshine, you'd still love it for the look and logic of it.

Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BRASS SUNDIAL

Customer Review: bare bones?
Summary: 2 Stars

I ordered this for a Christmas gift for my father and was disapponted when I saw what I paid for. It is quite small (3"diameter) and it came in a flimsy gold box that fell apart when I lifted it out of the shipping box. The piece was wrapped in what looked like a yellow "Scott" napkin, and a small screw fell out of somewhere when I opened the napkin. I did find where the screw went, but it was very difficult to put it back and I actually had to get a watch screwdriver to accomplish. It also has no instructions, or any information on the piece what-so-ever. It's too late for me to find another gift. In my opinion it is extremely overpriced for the lack of presentation and for the quality of the item.
