Mid 20th Century, English, Passing Strike Skeleton clock in a rafter frame patterned after an original by Haycock of Derbyshire. This was made by a good clockmaker. As with many skeleton clocks, he used an existing antique fusee movement as the heart of the clock and carefully fretted the brass frames and dial to give the impression of their 19th century counterparts. The front dial is nicely engraved: T. R. Russell, Liverpool, 1888 This clock has a new round dome and base. Has an oversize spring barrel and chain and runs strongly. Height of clock 12.5", Height with dome 14.5 inches
