Description
This was made by a fairly skilled clockmaker, but he took some short cuts as he finished the clock; he made the rear verge support out of a piece of channel brass and soldered on the suspension stud; the crutch broke and is poorly soldered. The fusee movement started life as a 2-dial clock, with winding from either side, and he has applied a second small dial to the rear plate showing minutes only. Does run but the crutch is slipping on its arbor and will need some attention; hard to get into beat. The round dome with turned walnut base is recent; dome setting beside clock in foto. Note two Knights in Armor are engraved on the lower front plate. Height of clock 14.5", Height with dome 17 inches
