23 October 2024
(J.C. Brown), Bristol, a small clock in exceptional condition. Two small air brush touch ups are apparent on the original dial, one by the F/S opening and another in the center of the seconds bit; these are undetectable except with a magnifierÖ the balance of the dial, including the signature, is original and wonderful. This clock must certainly have been in a drawer most of its life, as it shows very little sign of useÖ original glass, no paint chips along the edges, etc. 30 hour lever movement has been professionally cleaned and is running. Height 13" $1200-1800
