Fellow Shadow Watchers,
It is some years since I
installed the World's most northerly sundial at Longyearbyen on the
island of Spitbergen at 78° 13' north. Recently there has been some
interest expressed in size-reduced copies of the plate (no gnomon) in
stainless steel as a display item. As the cost of these reduces with
quantity I wonder how many diallists, if any?, or those looking for an
unusual birthday or Christmas gift for a diallist, might be interested
in acquiring one. See it in daylight and at midnight on midsummer day.

The original is 400mm A/F (across the flats of the outer octogon.)
Two sizes are being considered, both etched and 'filled' in 1mm thick
satin finished stainless steel with a green baize covering bonded to
the back. These are mostly hand made by a professional photoetching
company. While they are certainly not cheap they are high quality
limited editions of a unique sundial.
150mm A/F (If at least 5+ are ordered) UK£65 including VAT reducing
to £30 if larger quantities are ordered.
200mm A/F (If at least 5+ are ordered) UK£90 including VAT reducing
to £50 if larger quantities are ordered.
Please contact me off List to express a serious but 'no obligation'
interest.
Tony Moss
