This particular clock started life as an English pub clock, and was converted in the early 20th century via one of the several skeleton frame kits offered by English firms. Note the solid hour wheel on the center shaft, and the simple spoke pattern used on most dial clocks. The fretted dial has been stamped out and then engraved with Roman numerals; hands are modern. The gut on the fusee has failed and will need replacement. We have several other skeleton clocks selling in Sunday's session. Height 19 inches
