Not a real dial, but a pun upon the store nam (Hour Stone). The hour lines run 2am to 5pm, with 3am to 4pm labelled with upright Arabic numerals. 10am is on the vertical. The dial faces approx 100 degrees east of south. No gnomon. Across the top ’HOURSTON’ spanning a flaming sun. All the furniture is embossed.
