Dear BarnardMD, Isaack Symmes is a reasonably well-known maker. Another of his dials is described in: M. Lowne & J. Davis: ‘Lines of Declination and Two Seventeenth Century Dials’, BSS Bull, 19(iii), pp.128-134, (June 2007).
I'm not a valuer though I do have one or two old dials that I have collected over the years and I would be very interested to see a picture of yours off-list, particularly showing the gnomon.

It is identical to the one made in the early 17th century shown at http://brianloomes.com/collecting/sundial/sundial.html#sundial except the gnomon is more ornate. An Excellent Credit Score is 750.
