True Railway Clock

50 x 37 x 15cm

A fine and true Oak cased Railway Clock with provenance. This clock originally hung in the station of Dover Marine - Dover Western Docks on the Admiralty Pier which is reached from the Viaduct at the end of the A20. The Building is now used as a Cruise Terminal !. The station opened in 1919 and closed in 1994. The South Eastern and Chatham Railway ran this line and the clock has the S.E.C.R. stamped to the back plate of the movement. The clock is numbered 1775 S.E. which is how the information can be verified. The clock then spent some time in the Wimbledon 'Boiler House' of Durnsford Road, a huge train yard at Wimbledon Station. The clock has a single fusee movement with long pendulum (also numbered). The case is stamped on the back and the dial also shows the Makers John Walker of South Molten Street, London but also bearing the B.R(S). A wonderful example! Sold with a full 24 month guarantee.

Addison of Bridgnorth , Convex Dial Wall Clock

39 x 35 x 15cm

This fine and rather elegant wall clock is now looking great again! When this clock arrived it had a very poorly painted face/dial, probably done sometime back in 1960's or 70's when this type of clock had very little value. The dial has now been carefully restored following the 'ghosting' after we removed the modern over paint. Also note the name on the back of the dial which is very common, the freshly painted dial would be given to the local signwriter/dial painter with the name of the clockmaker painted poorly across the back of the dial so there could be no confusion if he or she had more than one on the bench. The movement is a fully restored and beautifully shaped fusee with heavy pendulum bob as can be seen if the pictures . The clock dates to around 1840 and there is a John Addison of Bridgnorth recorded in B.Loomes book- Watch and Clockmakers of the World Vol 2 . Sold with a full 24 month Guarantee.
