I was the under bidder on this clock last year. I had intended to bid more after I received pictures but I didn't realise when they turned up it was the same day as the auction.
Then it appeared again in an auction held this week. the case had been polished the movement serviced and new gut line installed.
I thought I would have another go and I bought it today for about what I would have increased my bid to last year but now it has had the work done. Plus they left the dial alone which is a huge plus.
I hope to get it next week. These pictures are by kind permission of the original auction house.
I only have one date for Mr Hayter in Bath of 1812, which is a bit early and according to Bellchambers he was both in Bristol and Bath, the give a date for 1819 in Bristol. There they have him as W Hayter. I would have thought it was more like the right date, I would have thought 1820s.
