Solid Brass Horizontal Sundials

These are the traditional Rose Garden sundials of yore. Their design comes from pre 1894 when the World Time Zone System was put in place. Thus they are not longitude corrected but accurately read local solar time. The legal hour is obtained by applying the Equation of Time and then adding or subtracting the longitude correction.
