Description:
  • An ordinary mass-produced horizontal dial mounted on a simply decorated cast concrete pedestal. 11.5" diameter, cast iron with verdigris finish. The dial face is inclined but in the wrong direction, opposite to what is needed to properly align the style to the polar axis (cannot be corrected because fixture is damaged). Appears to be a Model #2550 'Father Time' dial from Rome Industries.
