Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

This is a Gunning heliochronometer, serial no JPG072, with decorative botanical patterns on the dial plate. EOT compensation is by an analemma scale on the gnomon. It has timezone / summer time adjustments for +2 / +1 / 0 / -1 / -2 zones / hours. The dial was missing in August 2021, having been stolen some time before.
