This beautiful solid brass antique reproduction of a sundial with an internal magnetic compass is available in either a polished brass or an antique brass patina finish.  The top of the sundial is hinged and a curved scale is used to set your local latitude angle.  The magnetic compass permits the sundial to be oriented North.  During transport, the needle lift mechanism of the compass is engaged to protect the compass's jeweled bearing.  The sundial can be accurately leveled by three adjustable legs.  The local time can be determined by looking at the sun's shadow cast by the vane of the sundial.
For compact storage the top of the sundial can lay down flat, and both the latitude scale and the sundial vane are hinged to lay flat.  The sundial measures 4 1/2 inches (11.4 cm) tall, 2 inches (5.1 cm) tall when collapsed, the body of the compass is 2 7/8 inches (7.3 cm) in diameter, and the sundial weighs 14 ounces (397 grams).
The brass sundial comes complete with a handsome display and storage case.  We can mount custom brass plaques on the outside and/or inside lid of the case to personalize this beautiful gift.
The brass sundial with magnetic compass and hardwood case is offered at only $82.
We also offer a premium grade version of this sundial with internal spirit level, and a smaller version of this sundial with leather case.

This premium grade model of the sundial compass is similar to the model above, but has a round spirit level built into the frame to assist in leveling the sundial.  The accuracy of a sundial is affected by the azimuth, latitude of the instrument, and level, and this sundial has the ability to set all three main variables.  The azimuth is aligned to the North by the internal magnetic compass.  The top of the sundial is hinged and a curved scale is used to set your local latitude angle.  To aid in the leveling of the sundial, the three legs of the sundial can be adjusted until the spirit level's bubble is centered.  The sundial measures 5 inches (12.7 cm) tall, 2 3/8 inches (6.0 cm) tall when collapsed, the body of the compass is 2 7/8 inches (7.3 cm) in diameter, and the sundial weighs 14 ounces (397 grams). 
A needle lift mechanism is engaged to protect the compass's jeweled bearing during transport.  The top of the sundial can lay down flat, and both the latitude scale and the sundial vane are hinged to lay flat for compact storage.
Please note this premium grade model is only available in the polished brass finish.  A handsome fully lined hardwood case for display and storage of the brass sundial is included with the purchase.  The corners of the case have lighter colored inlaid hardwood splines.  Custom brass plaques can be mounted on the case to personalize your gift.  Sorry, the inlaid brass diamond cannot be engraved.
The Premium Grade brass sundial compass with spirit level and hardwood case is available for $99.  We also carry two smaller versions of this sundial compass.
