Description
with restorations. This clock retains its original paper over zinc dial (with tear and minor losses)which was used just a short while after Edw Howard bought out David Davis. Has a nice early pinned movement, properly signed. The hurts on this clock include: the case has been refinished and all of the graining is now absent; the tablets were redone by someone handy with gold leaf but who didn't have an original sample and the pattern is the wrong size and shape. Also weight is a replacement, and tie-down and baffle are absent. Otherwise a decent clock in running order; pattern still visible on pendulum. Estimate reflects condition. See also lot No.330. Height 29"
