An Elegant Portico Clock
in
Shiny Mahogany!
***
Genuinely 100% Original!
***
Circa approx 1900-20's.

From my Personal Collection. This is a piece of Social History! Just remember when this was made, there wasn't any commercial flights, No computers, No T.V.'s, No microwaves, people worked a standard 6 day week, 12-14 long hours each day, most didn't get any paid holidays, and people had a very hard life! It has withstood at least two world wars, and god knows what else! Yet it is still working well.
***
It is also advertised privately so may be withdrawn early! Bid early to ensure it stays on ebay!!!

Case is in Beautiful Mahogany! Has a Wonderful Patina, and NO Faults! It does need a Back Plate/Cover, was probably a Wooden one (easy to make one), but maybe a Tin or Brass one was used? Nice Original Brass Bezel. Original Dial with Makers Trademark "Crossed Arrows" printed on it, registered in Feb 1892. Measures approx 57mm across. (These Dials are Originally card, and a duplicate can be easily printed, to replace it if required) Original Hands. Looks Elegant and of High Quality! Very Nice Solid Brass Acorn Finial to the top. 4 Brass Capped Columns. Key & Stunning Decorative Pendulum Included (See Picture 3). Set Up Instructions also included if required.

Movement is made by "H.A.C." of (Hamburg Amerikanische Urenfabrik ), of Schramberg, Black Forest, Germany. It is a Timepiece so suitable for even a bedroom, but is Elegant enough for a Dining Table. Recently Oiled! Needs to be Cleaned (could be done here for a small fee) but runs fine anyway!

This is an Antique/Collectable hence will show some signs of use and wear, nothing to worry about, but it may have some minor blemishes, these are part of it's history. If you want a clock with no blemishes? Then you will need to buy a new one, and these can cost many hundreds of pounds, and not have this Quality! An Antique or Collectable is a much better buy, for Quality and Reliability, and Social History.
