Many solnhofen and other stone sundials have coats of arms on them.  The 
Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum  (Chicago) has many examples from 
the early modern period (say, 1550-1800).   Contact Devon Pyle-Vowles, the 
collection manager, or Bruce Stephenson, curator, for images.

I have included coats of arms on a number of brass sundials that I have made. You can see some pictures of a few of them on www.flowton-dials.co.uk If you want to see others, or larger pictures, contact me directly.
