How recent lever fusees?

[David Thomas]

The latest fusee in my collection is dated 1906 and is by "Russells Ltd, 18 Church Street, Liverpool". The latest keywind fusee I have seen was in a case hallmarked for 1910, also by Russells

David makes an important distinction. The high end Clerkenwell makers were produceing keyless fuzees until the went out of business. I think that was mostly during the great depression of 1929, but it could have been much later.

Large marine chronometers with fuzees are still being produced in Russia I think. Or, at least they were 25 years ago.
