If this is a rack-lever it is probably somewhat older; the supply of these escapements (made, I believe, solely by the patentee Peter Litherland and his successors in title) seems to have dried up in the middle 1820s. (Has anyone seen a demonstrably later one?)

Unfortunately Baillie is silent about the maker.

Thnks for the info. We now have two S/N for this maker/jeweler Gordino. Perhaps some more Gordinos will show up

PS for TM I think Gordino is an Italian Name
