M. C. Taylor has dated this Mahogany Fusee Dial Clock to the 19th Century.
Also having a substantial pendulum and unusually, a transit locking bracket.
Behind a 12" diameter flat wooden dial with its original paint. The cream coloured background has an inked outer minute track and short Roman hour numerals. Above the centre is the maker's name of "SLY" and below is the place "WEYMOUTH". The open moon hands are matching and the dial is behind a locking, cast brass 'Sheraton' style concave bezel with flat glass.
The case has a narrow moulded edge surround that is part of the one-piece dial. The back box has the usual access door to the right hand side and the curved bottom has a cockbeaded door.
Sly is listed as working in Weymouth circa about 1800 and is known to have made many good clocks.
Dimensions: 14" diameter surround x 6 1/4" deep.
Condition: Completely untouched for most of it's life, this clock is totally original including working bezel lock and the dial paint. The movement is fully working and keeping time however, has been neglected for a considerable time and would benefit from a complete overhaul and new gut line. The dial would benefit from a light clean and perhaps sympathetically re-inking the numerals and the name. The cuved case bottom has small pieces of missing veneer but otherwise is sound and of fantastic colour and patination.
Price: The price is for the clock in it's present and working condition. A price and timescale for any work required by the purchaser can be advised upon request.
