A FRENCH UNIVERSAL SUNDIAL
signed on the plate Pigeon á Lyon [sic] and engraved with latitude for Grenoble, the reverse with latitudes of Paris and Lyon only, the octagonal case probably associated.
3½in. (9cm.) long in case

Note du spécialiste

The incorrect accent in the signature, associated case and general appearance of this dial suggest a later manufacture (early 20th century?) in the style of those instruments signed "Pigeon à Lyon".
