This particular clock departs from the usual square dial walnut longcase product of the partnership thus was probably a special order, although signature features such as the unusually large subsidiary seconds ring are present.

The automaton and legend in the arch strongly suggest that this clock was made to special order by the owner of one of the larger Bath bakeries of which there were several operating at this time, the most well known being Sally Lunns, North Parade Passage which is now a museum.
An early 19th century inlaid mahogany eight-day longcase clock with rocking figure to arch, the four-pillar rack and bell striking movement with 12 inch white painted Arabic numeral break-arch dial with arched calendar aperture, subsidiary seconds dial and signed 'W.

Edward Bilbie, Chew Stoke. A rare William & Mary thirty-hour musical longcase clock, circa 1695, the substantial three-train posted movement with four square section brass pillars riveted into the base plate and secured via brass nuts at the top plate, with verge escapement, outside countwheel bell strike and music playing every three hours via a 2.75 inch pinned cylinder on eight bells with twelve hammers, the movement raised on four steel spurs, the 9.5 inch square brass dial engraved with leafy tulip trails around a formal flowerhead and signed 'Edward Bilbie Fecit' to centre, within an applied Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised trident half hour markers and foliate cast winged cherub head pattern spandrel applied angles, now in a walnut veneered case with ogee cornice over rectangular door to hood and narrow trunk with slender door, on plinth base, 203cm high. Edward Bilbie is thought to have learnt the clockmaking trade from Edward Webb, who died in 1694. Bilbie started casting bells in 1698 and it is highly probable that he was making clocks by this time. This clock bears a very strong resemblance to an example by Edward Webb (as discussed in Moore, A J 'The Clockmakers of Somerset 1650-1900' Appendix vii) thus may well be one of the first clocks made by Edward Bilbie. The level of decoration and attention to detail lavished on the arbors, collets and other parts of the clock indicates a great deal of pride by the maker, possibly supporting a theory that this may well be his masterpiece. The movement and dial have survived in remarkable original condition, however the case is almost certainly associated but of the period with later veneers.
An unusual oak cased rack-striking thirty-hour longcase clock with alarm and day of the week indication, circa 1735, the substantial four finned pillar movement with anchor escapement and alarm mechanism mounted on the backplate, the 11.5 inch brass square dial with foliate engraved calendar aperture, ringed false winding holes, silvered alarm disc and day of week with deity symbol sector to the matted centre, within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur de lys half hour markers and signed 'Jn'o Limbry, Currymallet' along lower edge, the angles applied with cast female mask and scroll pattern spandrels, the case with box upstand over moulded cornice and integral pilasters to hood, above line bordered rectangular trunk door and plain plinth base with bracket feet, 200cm high. John Limbry is recorded in Moore, A J 'The Clockmakers of Somerset 1650-1900' as working in Curry Mallet circa 1729. This clock is illustrated on page 159 and on the back cover. The movement demonstrates a remarkable level of attention to detail and originality in its specification and finish.
