American Help I.D. this maker

[Ron Roberts]

See attached photos. A note with this tall case clock stated that Walter Turnbull was working in Baltimore in the late 1700s. However, I cannot confirm this with any of the resources that I have.
Please help if you have any info on this.
Was the clock really made in America and if so when and what info is there on this maker?

Ron,

Here is a thread on John Turnbull:

Turnbull Clockmaker???

Regards.

 

[Ron Roberts]

Thanks for the thread on John Turnbull. However, the face of this clock says Walter Turnbull. will appreciate help with that name. also what or where is Caltoun?

 

[zedric]

Caltoun is in Scotland where this clock almost certainly comes from. There are a few other clocks by this maker on the net if you search for them.

Oops.

For some reason, I read your post as John.

Apologies.

Regards.

Caltoun is Calton, Scotland: Calton, Glasgow - Wikipedia

There is a long thread on Scottish brass dials. Yours looks like a cousin to my John Key clock made not far away in Dumbarton. How about some case photos?

A Walter Turnbull is listed in Calton (sometimes Caltoun) Glasgow, Scotland mid-late 18th C?

Thanks JMclaugh. Can you point me to the reference for your information?
