I was watching Pawn Stars on History Chan last nite and a guy brought in a Nuremberg Dial. It is a combination compass, sundial and weather vane. It even had a moon phase calculator that allowed one to tell the time at night, within 15 mins, by the phase and position of the moon.
It was about the size of a pack of smokes,made of ivory sometime in the 1600s. He sold it for $4500.
I would like to have one made out of more modern materials. Anybody seen one or know where to get one?
No, but sounds interesting! Never heard of such a thing. I'll have to do a google.
Thanks for the post.
I haven't heard of them. Sounds interesting though.
That one looks very similar JC. Its also known as a diptych dial.
that little compartment on the side holds the metel flag which is used as the weather vane. You close it up and through the little hole in the top you can see the compass needle. Line it up to north and stick the flag in its hole and it gives wind direction.
That is cool. Never heard of it before. Good thread, thanks!
Thank you to our feild reporter, Justin Case!
Thats intresting, would like to check one out.
I just picked one from this page http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/epact/place....Name=NurembergQuote:

Nope. It was built in the back of the Bulova factory.
I have a Timex :blushing:
and a Seiko,
and a fossil,
Yes, I have 3 arms too , :tongue_smilie:
But that thing would look so cool strapped to my wrist.Quote:

VERY INTERESTING.

Several years ago I purchased a similar sundial. It's really pretty accurate. There is a tiny hole in the brass sliding ring. You set the hole on the correct month, the sun shines through the hole and illuminates the time. Batteries not included (joke).

Looks like you stole that ring from Jason :sneaky2:

I agree H63, I like the ring. Nice find Rick. Thanks for the links.
Lots of antiques come from Nuremburg. My sister was born there in '50.:innocent:
