NER Mahogany cased 12 drop dial English fusee clock. The chain driven fusee movement which has recently been cleaned and oiled has rectangular plates with shaped shoulders and is stamped in the back Ex YRK which confirms that the clock was originally sold from the British Railways Collectors corner shop in York sometime in the 1970's. The original dial bears the writing LNER 1335 and has ghosted Smith & Sons Clerknewell which is a rare feature, the excellent quality flame mahogany case which is in original condition has a brass bow tie lenticle window and retains its original cast brass bezel. The LNER clock records show that the clock was in use at Barnard Castle East cabin Signal box , however the back of the case has Seamer West Box marked on it probably indicating a late transfer, altogether a magnificent and rare clock.
