LNER (Ex GER), 12″ dial fusee movement railway clock No 3579.
This clock was originally located at DOCKING, (in Norfolk) ‘WAITING ROOM’, as shown in the LNER record, later to YORK, CHIEF OF POLICE, ROOM 74, OLD STATION BUILDING, presumably after Docking Station closed to passengers in 1952. However, also written in the back box is LAVENHAM, (Suffolk) this is also written on the back of the dial. This location is not shown in the LNER clock records as can be seen, but it could have been moved there ‘unofficially’. The 12″ dial, back box, dial surround, cast brass bezel, bevel edged glass, side door & hinges are all OK, as is the locking lower door which is working and has a key. The back box, dial surround and both doors have the green baize fitted by the GER to many of their clocks to stop the ingress of dust. Just below the LNER on the dial can be seen G.E.R. in very faint ‘ghosting’. (I was unable to get a picture of this G.E.R. ‘ghosting’). The clock number 3579 is etched into a small ivorine plate that the GER/LNER fitted to some of their clocks. The chain driven fusee movement is clean, has been lightly oiled and is working fine and keeps good time. Has a good fitting winding key and of course a pendulum.
Will be well wrapped and packaged in a large cardboard box, but sending is at buyers risk, as items with glass cannot be covered for damage.
Thanks for looking.
