23 October 2024
striking the hours on a bell, and with period replacement dome. This clock came to us from storage and will need some attention. The cable on the time side is fraying and will need replacing; clock once had a gong for striking, now on a bell. Pendulum bob was lost and replaced with a French unit. Retains original silvered plaque, signed "T. Bennett, Lytham". The movement itself of good quality with delicate 5 spoke wheels throughout, except for motion wheels which are 3 spoke. Couple of misc. spare holes in frame. Height of clock 13", with dome and base 16" Would have been $5000 if all original; runs and strikes as is.
