Sundial?

Any suggestions on where I could find a reasonably priced sundial on a pedestal? I'd prefer black or copper toned. Preferrably under $60. I'd love to tuck one into my cutting garden.

hey! I have this one!
Sun Clock Sundial

it's aluminum and the sunlight shines though the numbers on to the back plate.  You tell the time by looking at the number on the line of the back plate.  I think it's really cool, and it's actually made by Whitehall Products in Whitehall, Michigan http://www.whitehallproducts.com/index.php/products/C15 

I have the column that goes with it as a base also, but I think the column will take you over your price limit.  I wonder what it would look like on a wood post?

Get the sundial, and look for something at a secondhand shop or flea market that can be repurposed as a pedestal. Might work.

I was able to find some whitehall sundials for a good price.  I so much prefer aluminum since it won't rust.  The column and dial come to $66.98

$24.99


$41.99

I love this one. I'd be willing to spend more than I had hoped to stare at it! I bet it would look great on this:

But I also like the idea of repurposing an item from a second hand shop (Treasure Mart, here I come).

D, Thanks for the heads up on whilehall.
