The lower front door rail has an engraved brass plaque which bears:
"Presented to H. J. TROTTER ESQ. BY HEAD OFFICE STAFF OF THE LATE
LONDON & BRAZILIAN BANK AS A MARK OF HIGH ESTEEM AND REGARD ON HIS
RETIREMENT AFTER 31 YEARS SERVICE. 24.12.1925."
Dimensions: 11" high excluding handle x 7" wide x 5 3/4" deep.
Condition: The movement is very dirty but working and doesn't appear to have any signs of wear however, it would greatly benefit from a complete overhaul. The case is very slightly sunlight faded but is still of good colour and patina. There are very slight knocks to the polish here and there. The dial is very good.
Price: The price is for the clock in its present and working condition. A price and timescale for any work required by the purchaser can be supplied upon enquiry.
