In reply to Claude Hartman's note about Gothic Numerals on
Sundials, I only recall having seen these on dials in Germany. However, as
far as Portable Dials are concerned I know of a few examples. One is
a brass dial mounted on the lid of a snuff box. Unfortunately it is
unsigned and even impossible to give it a country of origin (unless we can say
that 'it must be German by its numerals'). I am sending a picture of this
to Claude off list, but if anyone else wants to see it, please let me
know.
Also some Nuremberg Ivory Diptych dials use such
numerals. Some of these are illustrated in my book 'A Dial in Your
Poke'. These are Lienhart Miller 1628, Paul Reinman 1598 &
1607.
