This is a larger model, with an 8-inch globe by the Globe Clock Co., successors to Sam"l Puckley and Co, London. The equator ring has a 24 hour time dial, two I-XII segments, with red numerals for daytime and black for night time. The globe has a rub spot (half dollar size) where someone mistakenly rubbed it with a moist cloth, and other minor nicks which are not objectionable. With a good French lever movement in the base which rotates the globe through a drive shaft up the stem. Both the case and movement signed S. Smith and Sons (and "France') Generally very good+ condition. Height 15.6'
