Great Western Fusee Railway Clock

A Picture of a Great Western Railway Rosewood Chisel Bottom Trunk Fusee Clock

An extremely rare and desirable example of a very early GWR clock, the case is made out of rosewood veneered pine in the saltbox style and features ebony and brass inlays, the pendulum suspends from the top of the backbox not the movement. There are only three of this type known to exist and all differ slightly in decoration, the dial has been rewritten circa 1930 and features the short lived screen printing process, the clock dates from around 1835 and was probably supplied to one of the earlier companies that were absorbed into the GWR.
