A 19th century mahogany table clock with carillon quarter chimingthe dial signed Griffith, Mile End Rowthe rectangular case with exaggerated carved draped pagoda top, the sides with gilt brass floral drop ring handles and pierced brass sound frets, the front with applied floral and pinecone foliate carvings, raised on bun feet, the 7.5' painted metal Roman dial with geometric blued steel hands, the brass twin chain fusee movement with shaped plates, anchor escapement and external fly, rack striking on a nest of eight graduated bells and chiming on a large bell, with pendulum, crank key and case key, 59cms highFootnotes:John Widlake Griffith, sometimes Griffiths, appears to have begun trading around 1833, in a shop in 1 Ireland Row, Mile End, London, where he is listed as a watchmaker. By 1841, he had moved to 15 Wentworth place, Mile End, London, where he remained until at least 1852. In 1882 he was listed as working at 195 Burdett Road, Mile End, London; this is the last record that can be found of him. Throughout his career he was always listed as a watchmaker. Interestingly, a gold watch signed 'Griffiths Mile-End-Road, London' on the dial was used in evidence for a trial regarding the murder of a passenger on the Brighton Railway in 1881. The watch belonged to the victim and was later found hidden in the perpetrator's shoe. The perpetrator was asked to tell the police what the watch's movement number was, 16,261, and the name of the maker. He failed to correctly identify either, which helped suggest to police that he may have been involved in the murder, rather then a victim as he initially claimed. He was found guilty after a compelling four-day long trial.Kelly (1843) Post Office London Street Directory, London: Kelly's Directories Ltd.University of Leicester (2022) Historical Directories of England & Wales: London 1808-1915.

The current brass dial is a later modification.The back of the dial plate is scratch signed H Manwaring Feb 1895. This may have been Hezekiah Manwaring, who initially worked out of Sussex (where he was born in 1828) before relocating to Wandsworth around 1878. It is possible that he was the one who took the original japanned dial off and updated it with the current one.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Lot 359
A rare mid 19th Century carved mahogany floorstanding regulator with keyless windingE. Fisher, BathThe arched case with full length glazed door revealing the mercury jar pendulum (now empty) and floral scroll engraving to the top and bottom, over a substantial base with recessed oval panel, applied carved scrolls and block feet. The one piece signed silvered 13.75-inch dial with outer minute track enclosing the recessed subsidiary dials for Arabic seconds (with Observatory marks) and Roman hours. The substantial weight-driven movement with thick (5mm) tapering plates united by four heavy turned pillars secured by eight heavy blued steel screws and collets, the single train with wheels of six crossings, high count pinions and terminating in a deadbeat escapement with jewelled pallets, triple-screwed to the arbor which is set in endstops, the long polished steel crutch terminating in a right angle with hinged steel arbor carrying the fork to the fine-screw regulation nut over the empty mercury jar pendulum with tapered pointer reading against a silvered beat scale secured to the back board. Wound by pulling on a heavy fusee-type chain emanating from the right hand side of the hood. Together with the small (c.2.75kgs) cylindrical brass weight, the four-spoke pulley and case key. 2.18m (7ft 2ins)Footnotes:Edwin Fisher is first recorded working in Bath in 1819; he is recorded as a watchmaker and a jeweller working at 13 Somerset buildings. At some point he relocated to 14 New Bond Street; an 1833 directory records him at this address. On a trade card, he is styled as a watchmaker, specialising in French watches, chronometers, and repeaters, as well as carrying out repairs to musical works and offering a supply of keys and precious metal chains. Nine years later Fisher had moved again to 13 Abbey Churchyard, though he would stay there only briefly, moving to his final location, 9 Old Bond Street, in 1846. He stopped advertising in Bath in 1866, which is reasonable to suggest as his date of retirement.Another regulator, with a jewelled deadbeat escapement, is known to be by him, as well as a few skeleton clocks. His name and a date of 1839 are also on the hour dial of the Cockshutt church clock; it has been suggested that he carried out some extensive repairs to the clock, possibly including a repair or conversion of the clock's pinwheel escapement, the movement being signed Bullock and Davies of Ellesmere. A turret clock, previously from the Bishop's Palace stable block in Bath, was made entirely by Fisher, and features quarter chimes and a wooden pendulum. None of these clocks have been described as having the peculiar pull-wind system present on the current lot.It is also interesting to note that the ticking of a balloon clock made by Fisher was recorded around 1941, by the BBC at Maida Vale. The recorded ticking was used as a time interval signal on radio broadcasts between programs, to assure listens that their sets had not died, but that a new program was being prepared.British Horological Society (1972) 'A Working Edwin Fisher Clock', Horological Journal, Vol. 115 (3), pg. 29Goodship, G.
