DESCRIPTION:

This is a wonderful brass sundial which is of impressive proportions. The piece is stamped 'JAMES LUCKING & Co, BIRMINGHAM'.  
The sundial plate is made from heavy brass and incorporates some wonderful detailing as can be seen from the photographs. It is also engraved 'Fugit Hora' which translates from Latin as the hours fly.  A nice feature is that the sundial has never been mounted.
 

DIMENSIONS:

The approximate maximum dimensions are 7.75 inches (19.5 cm) in diameter   Also the gnome is approximately 4.25 (10.5) inches high. AGE We understand this to date to  the early part of the 1900, to err on the side of caution we would date it up to circa 1920 .  We have found historical adverts for James Lucking & Co., Opticians, 5, Corporation St., Birmingham which date to 1903 and also there is an article in THE LONDON GAZETTE, MARCH 11, 1904 which states: 'NOTICE is hereby given, that the Partnership hitherto existing between us the undersigned, JAMES LUCKING and HENRY JOHN INGRAM MANLEY, carrying on business at 37, Bond-street, Leeds, in the county of York, as Opticians and Dealers in Optical, Philosophical, and Mathematical Instruments,has been dissolved by mutual consent as from this date, and that all debts due to and owing by the said late firm will be received and paid by the said James Lucking, who will continue to carry on the business.—Dated this 7th day of March, 1902, JAMES LUCKING, HENRY J. I. MANLEY'.
