LB&SCR 14 oak cased drop dial chisel bottom fusee Clock No 1173B. The chain driven fusee movement appears to be in working order but has not been tested. The back of the plate is stamped 'GBE' and the oak case is complete with its original cast bezel with the back of the box stamped '1173 B'. The pendulum bob is also stamped '1173'. The dial has been painted but would benefit from a repaint. Most of the original lettering, including 1173 B, is still discernable. The SR clock records show that this clock was originally supplied for use at London Bridge station and was then transferred to the CME department at Ashford (Kent). A nice example that would benefit from sympathetic restoration.
