Almost certainly related to the "Mensing Instruments" of the previous lot; three are made of gilt copper and engraved or punched in a similar style. Webster records the OHP dial as being from the van Alfen collection in 1969. The hour conversion table is a copy of one by Habermel, the AD perhaps being a spurious monogram for Albrecht Durer. The nocturnal with Treschler signature is unusual for a "Mensing" in that it is gilt brass and not copper, but the piece being engraved rather than punched (as would be expected for a Treschler) could be suggestive of being of similar provenance. The brass altitude dial has the feel of being by a different and unknown hand.
