Can anyone help with an instrument maker called (Michael?)
Butterfield (around late 17th century)? Possibly two of them, e.g. father
and son. It is suggested they worked in York (U.K). Any information
welcomed.
Thanks

Michael (or Michel) Butterfield was English.

Sunny Day,
At times I visit eBay to see what sundial items may be available. There's
usually a lot of stuff but few unique items However, today I noticed their
featured item, which is a Butterfield sundial. It is worth taking a look at
and there is only one day of bidding left. Ther
was sold by Butterfield & Butterfield of
San Francisco on February 23 for $65,750 with buyer's premium. The estimate
was $25,000/50,000. (See rest of article at web site listed below.)
