Dial of the Astronomical Clock

Believed to date from the era of the late 1970's-1980's, this Abydos branded puzzle features the dial of the famous astronomical clock at London's Hampton Court Palace, built in 1540AD by Nicholas Oursian, The print itself is taken from the model in the Science Museum, London.
The puzzle is housed in a very stylish drum-shaped container with smaller scale colour guide picture on the side, along with information relating to the clock itself. Quoted as being Crown Copyright, Science Museum, London-Made for the Department of the Environment, it seems likely that the puzzle was produced specifically for sale at the Science Museum, rather than for general retail. The Department of the Environment was so-named in 1977, helping further with the dating of the puzzle.
