Wood, Montreal, "16" A Frame Fusee Gallery Clock", round 16 inch gallery clock that was retailed by Wood of Montreal in the 1860 era, and was probably made in England. The clock is signed on the fusee movement Wood and Montreal. This movement is a typical English 'A' frame movement with the original fusee type pendulum. It is a name that we have seen before on clocks of this period in Canada. The mahogany and mahogany veneer case was probably made in Canada. The front opens with hinges on the side and locks with a latch as opposed to using bars and wood taper pins. Mahogany and mahogany veneered case in original finish with a small crack behind the dial and a small loss of wood that is all covered by the dial. The hands are most likely original to the clock, but could have been repainted at some time in the past. The movement is dirty, but will tick. The dial possibly has been strengthened in places with large numerals as it was used on the Railroad in a small CPR station house. Overall a very unusual clock for the Fusee or Canadian collector that is in good condition. Ht 16"
