I won this clock at auction recently here in Scotland. It's my second, but have sold my 1st to make way for this one. This one's case is in good condition and retains its original patina.
The movement has been overhauled recently. I dare say the dial and hands could be restored later as they show signs of wear and fading.
One intriguing thing about this clock is that, even though it can be silenced, it does not silence the strike and only the hammers are arrested from hitting the gongs for the chime, so you can still hear the 'whirrrrr' at each 1/4 hour.
The 2 chimes are of course the Elite Whittington and the well-known Westminster.
