Buckinghamshire Railway 12 inch, drop dial, fusee Trunk Clock supplied to the Railway in 1850 by the world renowned Thwaites and Reed of London. The movement number 'T&R 11085' can be traced from the Thwaites and Reed records and these confirm the origin. The case is made from mahogany with a wonderful, flame mahogany veneer to the front. The substantial brass, chain driven fusee movement in fully restored and in fine working condition. Has the traditional, ringed pillars associated with T&R and is also stamped on the front plate 'T&R 11085'. The dial has been repainted by the Western Region. Additionally, whilst acquiring typical GWR / BR-W broad spade hands, it was also fitted with a BR-W ivorine plate 'BR-WR 4833'. The clock was confirmed by the vendor as having come from Bicester London Road station and this certainly fits in with the Thwaites records as they supplied a clock in 1850 to this location. Possibly one of the earliest Railway Clocks to appear at auction and certainly the first confirmed Buckinghamshire Railway example.

Original condition including the face which bears ghost GWR lettering and the scarcer Kays in larger than normal lettering.
