<p>[QUOTE="LucyLocket, post: 9824043, member: 13859"]I would think the sundial is certainly a possibility. The curved metal arm looks like all that is left of some kind of mechanism. I'm sticking with my first thought of it being an automaton clock! There must have been a mechanism to spin the crown too. I also think it could be as old as late 17th century - if so, wow!</p><p>Probably totally wrong but it's fun speculating!</p><p>Can't wait to hear what your antiquarian has to say![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
