this is not a restoration project for the timid, however when done should result in a seven thousand dollar clock {We note that D. Roberts antiques have sold a couple of these for 5000 pounds sterling]. You will need to make motion works, an escape wheel and arbor, a verge, ratchet and catch for the spring barrel and you will need a chain. A couple of frame screws and the bell are also missing. Rust needs removing. If you choose not to restore this, the parts, pillars, collets, dial, fusee and spring barrel can all be used to fit virtually any Evans skeleton clock. Ht as shown, 14"
