Here is one of my current collection of carriage clocks. This is a repeater. This means that when you press the button, the clock re-strikes the most recent hourly strike. This seems to be a nighttime thing to enable you to know the rough time without having to light a candle.
The clock is of standard weight and size for these clocks.
Hawley is an interesting maker. The British Museum records the company as watch maker to the King, presumably George III, IV or William IV. One of the Brothers moved to Coventry to make watches, Thomas seemed to stay in London.
The frame is gilt brass. Much of the gilt is worn away and the brass is dull. I have cleaned off most of the remains of Brasso application.
The clock is going nicely and keeping time.
I have disassembled the clock to clean individual parts and lubricated the key areas.
The parts are all stamped 80. They are all part of the original assembly.
The base of the clock has a plate missing. I know this because some of my other clocks still have this base.
There is one incorrect screw in the base and 2 in the set that hold in the escapement.
All of the glass looks original and intact.
The dial is enamel and there is a chip/crack in the top right hand corner. There are 2 other marks that did not clean off.
The clock is going nicely and has an audible ticking. It is not loud, but audible.
There is a key, not in the pictures.
Shipping well protected and double boxed.
