I am researching a small (8 inch diameter) engraved-brass horizontal
garden sundial. It is dated 1742, signed "John Jones", inscribed "Tyme
Flyes", and has a gnomon angle off of the plate of 52 degrees. Does anyone
have any information as to whether a "John Jones" was a dial maker in
England in the mid-eighteenth century? Thanks very much in advance.Bob Shapiro
