Pennsic medallions/sundials

Greetings,

I thought that I'd repost this here for those who might be interested.

The Pennsic medallions this year were of heavy brass and were working
sundials with the addition of a piece of thread and a bead. They also
had several other useful guages. The instructions were kind of difficult
to read and understand because of the wording and the hard to read font
used, but are inside this year's Pennsic guidebook, so they should be
easy to obtain. 

This is a portable sundial and many people are claiming half or 
quarter of an hour accuracy. You have to modify your reading to take 
into account our different location and daylight savings time but
once you do this they are quite functional.

/Oh, man....I'd love to see one!!  I LOVE SUNDIALS! 

   I have obtained the surplus PW XXV medallions for the usual charity
(chiurgeons) benefit. If you want one (or more) send $2 per medallion,
plus first class postage for 1.25 oz, and a sturdy SAE to:

   John R. Rose
   Attn: Medallions
   250 Emerson St
   Pittsburgh PA 15206

   Make your checks payable to : "SCA Inc, Chiurgeons East" NO CASH BY
MAIL!!!! (Igor will steal it and probably not tell me).
  As usual, all proceeds will be split among the East and Middle
Chiurgeons. No choice of numbers.
 I also have medallions for other wars:

  PW: XIX = $5, XXI, XXII,XXIII,XXIV $1.

  Some years ago, a Lord (from North Atlantia) said he had a ring of PW XX
tags.  If you see this post, I would still like to have them.
