Can Mastodon solve a puzzle for me? I'm trying to discover the purpose of an unusual dial on an old #grandfatherClock. It is the outer dial that puzzles me. The other, inner, dial clearly indicates lunar cycle, but the outer is split into two sections of 1 - 12 in a possibly logarithmic ratio, with a hand that points to the same number in each section. The hand moved number once a day. Any #horologists or #clock enthusiasts? #Boosts welcome

Silver: One of my favourite commissions was a table salt for the first lady Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers in London.
Founded 1631, the company elects a Master each year. My client was the first woman to hold that position. She commissioned the salt to be used at their dinners.
The globe is marked with lines of latitude & longitude. The spoon is Old Father Time's scythe. Sterling silver, gilt, hallmarked London.
