Description
The case has been stripped and could use some more finish. The large and well made chain fusee movement has shaped plates, strikes on a deep toned cathedral gong on a large iron base, and seems to be ticking and striking robustly despite being a bit dusty. The painted dial appears to have been repainted maybe 50 years ago, as the black of the numerals goes right across the crazing; it is signed Jas. Bannister, 32 Princess St., London; it has another heavy coat of nicotine on the surface. The clock has hung in a moist area and the hands have a light coat of rust. This clock makes an imposing appearance and with a little restoration will make a reliable and good looking wall clock. Height 43 inches
