Post Medieval Pocket Sundial.  Circa, 16th-17th century AD. Copper-alloy, 3.87 g, 39.72 mm. A scarce dial from a pocket sun dial dating from AD 1570-1650. The dial has a circular frame, a central scrolled bar with two integral projecting tabs to which are tethered each side of a folding triangular fin (the gnomon). The sundial is inscribed around the edge of the frame with Roman numerals 4-12 (IIII V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII) and 1-8 (I II III IIII V VI VII VIII) which represent the hours of daylight for the northern latitude. These are sub-divided into quarter hours by a calibrated ring that has four divisions each hour. When raised, the gnomon would have cast a shadow to enable the user to tell the time.

A SCOTTISH LATE GEORGIAN SUNDIAL BY MILLER & ADIE, EDINBURGH EARLY 19TH CENTURY the bronze dial raised on a squared sandstone baluster column(Dial 38.5cm diameter; pedestal 74cm high, 96cm high overall)Footnote: Note: Alexander Adie was apprenticed to his uncle the eminent Scottish instrument maker John Miller in 1789. In 1804 his uncle took him into partnership trading under the name Miller and Adie. The business continued until Miller's death in 1815. Adie then continued operating under his own name, and later Adie & Son when his son joined the firm. Adie was particularly interested in meteorological instruments and is perhaps best known as the inventor of the Sympiesometer, a compact and lightweight type of barometer, in 1818. In recognition of his work he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1819.
