If I had bid $1000 on this object I would by now hoping fervently that someone would out-bid me. The figures for the date are crudely stamped rather than engraved and the numerals on the dial are also stamped, unevenly. It does not look much like a 16th century font either.
I strongly suspect it is a modern "reproduction" portable sundial.
