C.1790, English, William Mountain, London, single fusee, passing strike bracket clock, in an ebonized bell top case. Condition: case is lacking two finials, two left return moldings, rear glass, door latches and side frets. Included inside are two brass side frets from another clock, a door lock and key [works and fits], The robust and well made movement has been converted from crown wheel and short pendulum to an anchor. Movement needs service, but is sound. Rear plate of movement is finely engraved, and signed by the maker, as is the silvered brass dial. No pendulum. Although dial mask fits the dial fairly well, the movement is not original to the case. Overall poor to fair condition. Dial = 7 x 10" Case ht = 20"
