L.M.S Fusee Railway Wall Dial Clock, Exquisite

Clockwise is delighted to present to you another stunning and lovingly restored railway clock for your consideration.

This is a very fine eight day fusee clock dating from circa 1880. The movement benefits from an anchor escapement and rectangular plates and has just been serviced so benefits from my three year guarantee.

The 12 inch dial is in excellent condition and bears the writing ‘L.M.S. John Smith & Sons, Midland Clock Works, Queen St, Derby, 8334’. There is evidence of the dial having born the earlier signage of ‘L.Y.R 878’.

Original hands and a locking brass bezel compliment the overall appearance.

The oak case is in beautiful condition, being of a standard two-piece design with pegs connecting both elements. There is a side door and a lower door with a turn-key lock and there is a brass plaque to the side bearing the mark ‘L.M.S 8334’ (with evidence it has been there for decades). To the case rear there is the station name of Abington West written and a metal plaque stamped 878 adorns the top of the back box.

John Smith is still trading today and are clockmakers of the highest calibre dating back to 1856. This is the third John Smith railway clock I have offered for sale and is a rare and handsome piece of history with fewer examples of this genre available year on year, although I have eight more railway clocks nearing completion.

Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy – yet more than happy with traditional clients – Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.
