Catalog Description:

C.1840, English, Large Striking Tavern clock, 2-weight, with a 25 inch dial that is recently restored and repainted, and with the words "King - North London Railway". This is a country clock and would not have been in a London station, however it is an imposing clock with a lot of character. The heavy movement is similar to what would have been found in a tall clock of the same period, and appears to be original to the case. A heavy external striker arm hits a large bell on the hour. Note the dial is not painted symmetrically (see large space between 7 and 8), and has a bit of an outward warp so that the hour hand binds slightly (can be relieved). The two heavy weights are replacements. Movement a bit dirty but complete and sound; ticks. A BIG clock, that will respond to some restoration. Height 76 inches
