C.1860, Jn. Charmichael, Greenock, Scotland, 8-day, 2-fusee, crown-verge, striking bracket clock. This is a mid-nineteenth century version of an earlier crown escapement movement. The fusee movement has a robust chain, on flat bottom fusees, which would not have been in use in 1750. The heavy plate movement is well made, and with the backplate very nicely engraved. The painted dial was repainted some time ago. The hands are old and adequate, but not original. The movement is currently fitted into a mahogany bell top case with a ripple molding on the top. The case is in fairly good condition with an old finish. A bracket clock for a thrifty Scotsman. Height 19 inches
