This is one of a number of 18-19th Century long case clock dials and movements which are from the extensive collection that belonged to the late Eric Morton 1945 - 2019. I know very little about clocks and know little jargon relating to them. Any questions please ask and I will answer them as best I can.

All items are for spares - repair only and may have bits missing but I know that some NON clock collectors only want a dial to hang on a wall as a furnishing with their surname or a local place name etc. All are A/F = as found. This is an enamel dial and movement which has been hand painted with farm houses in the corners and a maid of some kind holding some hay in her apron. It was named but unfortunately the name has worn almost completely off.

On the back is an old label which says dial is signed SMITH LEEDS. Also says rack missing and I can see the bell is missing as well. The only hand remaining is a small hand on a smaller dial near the bottom. Movement has two reels of cat gut at the bottom instead of chains.

The metal ware is rusted and tarnished which has effected the enamelling on the front, mostly on the edges and corners where the enamelling has chipped. The paintwork on the maker's name, numbers, and secondary dials are faded. The enamelling is cracked in places and looks to be discoloured from age. There are some surface scuffs and minor impact marks etc.

It needs a bit of a clean. Please see pictures provided for more details and visual confirmation of condition. 20 inches x 14 inches.

Their service was on a downer for the last year or so but has come to head in November - December when they took strike action for many days during those months. Their service was pretty bad before this to be fair but what a SHAMBLES it is now. This is such a shocking service from a company that should have been TOP of their game. They have lost my business, which is a considerable amount over a year. Scale is usually an English 1 penny coin which is 20mm in diameter which is just short of 7/8ths of an inch in diameter, or a universal Coke can, and we all know how big those are.

In the title or description it means. Condition which may have scuffs, scratches and damage. In relation to all my listings it does not mean " about fine ". I have used A/F for " as found " for 45 years.
