C.1870, English, 2-Fusee Wall Regulator in an oak case and in very good condition. The case has been stripped and could use some more finish. The large and well made chain fusee movement has shaped plates, strikes on a deep toned cathedral gong on a large iron base, and seems to be ticking and striking robustly despite being a bit dusty. The painted dial appears to have been repainted maybe 50 years ago, as the black of the numerals goes right across the crazing; it is signed Jas. Bannister, 32 Princess St., London; it has another heavy coat of nicotine on the surface. The clock has hung in a moist area and the hands have a light coat of rust. This clock makes an imposing appearance and with a little restoration will make a reliable and good looking wall clock. Height 43 inches
