Catalog Description:

C.1910, English, Reason Mfg, Murday Patent battery powered clock in very good to excellent original condition. The only minor item that keeps this from being excellent is the flaking numeral paint on the original transparent dial. The large balance wheel is impulsed by an electromagnet when the amplitude of swing decreases to 180 degrees using a Hipp toggle arrangement. This version is powered by a 3-volt battery in the base (no battery at this time). This is a loud and lively clock to watch while it is running, making a loud "clunk" when the Hipp toggle finally completes the circuit, and the balance oscillation speed picks up dramatically. With an ivory plaque indicating the clock was retailed by Rashleigh Phipps and Co., 147 Oxford St, London W. Among the most sought after battery clocks. Height to top of original dome, 14 inches
