Sundial/Compass
Displayed below are a variety of combined Sundials Compasses (antique and reproduction) that I have come across in my travels.
Sundials need to be set up for the latitude in which they are used and then orientated on the north south line. These integral sundial compasses were used by ancient mariners to find the north south line; the angle of the gnomon (which casts the shadow) could then be adjusted to their current latitude. The three legs are adjustable to ensure that the sundials is level.
Sundial Compass (Boxed) (SC45) £45 + £7.50 delivery
Sundial Compass (SC56) £40 + £7.50 delivery

Unless stated I have only one of each of these sundial compasses and they tend to sell quickly so I do not offer online ordering.
