Tools and Hardware Reviews of BRASS SUNDIAL
Customer Review: bare bones?
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this for a Christmas gift for my father and was disapponted when I saw what I paid for. It is quite small (3"diameter) and it came in a flimsy gold box that fell apart when I lifted it out of the shipping box. The piece was wrapped in what looked like a yellow "Scott" napkin, and a small screw fell out of somewhere when I opened the napkin. I did find where the screw went, but it was very difficult to put it back and I actually had to get a watch screwdriver to accomplish. It also has no instructions, or any information on the piece what-so-ever. It's too late for me to find another gift. In my opinion it is extremely overpriced for the lack of presentation and for the quality of the item.Customer Review: It works quite well

I have this sundial. It is one of many different types in my collection of sundials. It is well made and teaches one about leveling, latitude and solar versus mean solar (watch) time. With a few helpful articles from the 'Net one can learn much from using a sundial. I'm not sure it will replace my cell phone in daily use as a timepiece, but it is fun to learn, by using reproductions of historical items.Customer Review: Some Brass with Class

I'm delighted with the Sundial I recieved from Amazon.com. It's everything the picture shows and more. Judging from the shadow on the dial; it's time for you to get one as well. You wont be disappointed. Nice Price for the quality, craftsmanship and function. A great gift for a Boyscout.Customer Review: No sundial paperwork

The sundial was well crafted and works just fine, operation was near intuitive. I would have appreciated more of a writeup explaining how (time) accurate the design was and a scientific explanation of why it has time inaccuracies. A little history of sundials would have been nice too.Customer Review: A charming gift.

This sundial was given to me as a gift and I find it fascinating and beautiful. The three leveling legs adjust to precisely center the bubble. The table lifts to my lattitude (42 N) and I am ready to point north and tell time! A tremendous gift.
