William Tomlinson

Thanks to Mario, is now operational again after many years not being so. It's quite a palava getting it sorted as you may be able to tell just from looking at its insides. Plus it has to be level in every direction.  I've no idea what the 3 chalk marks are all about. It's history, see extra (typed label inside the door and almost certainly typed by my father) reads:

"William tomlinson, Clockmakers' Company, 1699: master in 1773 died 1750, a Quaker; chiming bracket clock in ebony case, about 1710, Wetherfield collection; watch by him in SKM, R.m 1719; inside a find 8-day Oriental lacquer clock-case by him were directions to set up and keep a pendulum clock, and underneath "the said clocks with all other sorts and all sorts of watches are made by William tomlinson at the Dial and Three Crowns in Bircham Lane, near the Royal Exchange, London. Now in White Hart Court, Gracechurch Street" He retired to Stoke newington; Mr Geo E H Abbot, Groton, Mass USA has a watch by hime which belonged ot Edward Holyoke, president of Harvard College; the outer silver case was made into a drinking cup for Mr Abbot's father."
