Pocket Sundial

[norflo2norcal]

While searching the riverbank a couple evenings ago, I spotted this "pocket" sundial on top of the sand after high tide. I think it is my most favorite find to date. Does anyone have an idea as to how old this may be? It is about 3 inches in diameter. There is no writing on the back to clue me in.

It is a sundial missing its GNOMON. It's not everyday you get to use GNOMON in a sentence.

After a quick search it seems to be a pretty recent creation, definitely postwar. Others very similar are marked "Korea" on the rear, and yours seems to be made out of diecast zinc. It certainly is a cool find but more "vintage" than "antique".

Here's yours in perfect condition, cool find IMO....

Nice riverbank find. That ancient one they had on pawn stars was pretty cool.

Thanks for the input, guys. Antique or vintage, I think it's pretty cool.
