Welcome to the forum.View attachment 578975 View attachment 578976 View attachment 578977 View attachment 578978 I should have taken more 'before' pics but this is the end result of a lot of cleaning, structural repair, dismantling and polishing! Works beautifully and has a gorgeous, sonorous gong. I am mystified however by the maker's mark on the back plate. I haven't seen it before and I can't see it in any of the references I have access to. Can anyone shed any light?

Well, yes and no.Not too much is known of the firm, except they were in business in the mid-1920s and just for a short period of time.
