A rare Lancashire wheel cutting engine. Inscribed for the original owner David Davies, London and dated 1776 The cutter frame with pivoted vertical movement against an adjustable screw-stop mounted onto the substantial box frame via a screw-adjusted horizontal slide, the 15.25 inch brass circular index plate with forty two division rings ranging from 6 to 365 and engraved David Davies, LONDON with repeat name and dated MAY THE 29 1776 to inner margin, located via a sprung detent fixed to the front of the frame and with central arbor passing through the frame to hold the work, the whole on four down-curved spiked supports, length of frame 74cm (29ins); with a selection of accessories including cutter arbors and a copy of Crom, Theodore R. HOROLOGICAL WHEEL CUTTING ENGINES 1700-1900 published by the author, Gainesville Florida, second edition 1976, (2). The overall design, construction and layout of the current lot can be directly compared to an engraving of an English wheel cutting engine published in Enderson, William The Principles of Mechanics, second edition 1758 (see Crom, Theodore R. Horological Shop Tools 1700-1900 page 634). An almost identical engine (signed for Daniel Fenn, London) is illustrated in Crom, Theodore R. HOROLOGICAL WHEEL CUTTING ENGINES 1700-1900 page 93; another from the workshop of the late John Hooper was sold in these rooms Tuesday 10th February 2009 lot 47. David Davies is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in London during the second half of the 18th century; as such engines are thought to have been made in Lancashire it is most probable that he was the original owner rather than the maker.

An English silver cased verge fusee pocket watch Henry Hindley, York circa 1760 the case later The gilt full-plate movement with square baluster pillars, silvered regulation dial, finely engraved and pierced foliate engraved backcock with diamond endstone and signed H.

Henry Hindley was born in Great Harwood, near Blackburn, Lancashire 1699. Little is known about his early life, however by the mid 1720Õs he was making clocks in Wigan where he repaired the church clock in 1720. Hindley moved with his young family (including his son, Joseph born 1728) to the city of York where, after making clocks for the Mansion House and Guildhall, he gained his Freedom of the city in 1732. HindleyÕs talents were such that he equipped his workshop with tools of his own design including an important dividing and wheel cutting engine, a screw cutting lathe and a fusee engine. As well as for domestic clocks Hindley received commissions for many turret clocks including York Minster and supplied a range of scientific instruments including two important equatorial telescopes for the Duke of Norfolk and William Constable. By the 1760Õs HindleyÕs health had deteriorated to the extent that an increasing proportion of the business was handled by his son, Joseph. Henry died in 1771 with his son and successor Joseph unfortunately dying just three years later in 1774.
