This is a small dial that has recently come into my possession. It stands (temporarily) on our gnomon-less Barker pedestal dial. Is it:

1. A good example of a small sphere from the 1930s, once owned by an aunt
2. A find in an old-style antique shop in Oxfordshire in 2003
3. An impulsive cheapo eBay purchase a few months ago
