Clockwise has dated this Antique Railway Wall Clock to the Victorian era.
The eight inch dial is in lovely condition and has been fully and tastefully restored with 'John Walker, 1 South Molton Street, L.M.S.R, London' applied. The rear of the dial has the usual annotations you would expect and the clock retains its original cast brass bezel with heavy bevelled glass and spade hands. The original cast bezel locks securely into a tab.
The one piece turned mahogany surround has fantastic colour and patination since its restoration. The circular surround is pegged to the back box in the usual classic manner with a working lock to the lower door, the usual side inspection door and lower stabilising hooks. The original LNWR plaque numbered 2003 is attached to the back box side, this railway having been amalgamated into London Midland Scottish railways in 1923.
John Walker were manufacturers of clocks and are best known for supplying timepieces to the principal railway companies of the day. They supplied clocks and watches and also arranged maintenance contracts. John Walker started in business in 1845 and the company was still in existence as late as 1980. Their main location was 1 South Molton Street and their clocks are increasingly sought after. Indeed one from this railway company recently fetched £2200 at auction!
This is a very rare and original clock in gorgeous condition and it’s one of many fusee and railway clocks I have coming onto the market.
