I knocked the dust off my copy of "Commonsense Celestial Navigation"
by Hewitt Schlereth.

In his chapter "Celestial Navigation Without a Sextant" he has a
worked example using the sun as it sets which he claims "the LOP
produced agreed exactly with the distance run since a fix made earlier
by advancing sun lines".

I haven't tried this type of sight myself but was always a little
curious to try it.
