I don't know what it is about torsion clocks, but similar clocks always seem to turn up in twos or threes.
Just bought a nice brass 4 glass with rectangular dial and along comes another in a mahogany case.
The condition of this clock is absolutely stunning, just like it came out of the shop 100 years ago. It must have been kept in the perfect environment for all its life. No tarnishing, no discolouration, just perfect. It has obviously been very sympathetically maintained, only screwdriver marks are on the suspension The eccentric for escapement, front plate and dial screws are unmarked, and the pendulum screws still have the perfect blued finish with no corrosion at all. What a find!!
For John's info the movement no. is 2056190, no number on the pendulum. I opened the pendulum base and was a little shocked to find small lead shot rolling all over the place. Obviously a solution to a too thick suspension.
Clock is still perfectly in beat without needing any change, just a trifle fast.
This clock is staying firmly in my collection.
