Bracket clock

I assembled this small bracket clock this morning having repaired the spring yesterday. Thwaites & Reed has been in continuous manufacture since its foundation in 1610 and claims to be the oldest clock manufacturing company in the world. For 30 years, it maintained all the clocks at the Palace of Westminster, including the Great Clock. They were trade supplier of movements to many well known historic clockmakers including Dutton, Dwerrihouse, Ellicott and Vulliamy and in more recent times well known retailers including The Franklin Mint, Asprey and Garrards. During its ownership by FW Elliott Ltd it also made movements under the Elliott brand.
I delivered a repaired grandmother clock and set it up. I had to remove the dial to make some final adjustments to the striking and chiming. The afternoon was given over to making a vat of butternut squash soup and a walk around the fields.
