North Eastern Railway 12 inch mahogany cased fusee railway clock with a rectangular plated chain driven English fusee movement with screwed pillars, supplied to the NER circa 1900. The original dial has been repainted post 1948 by the clock workshops at Doncaster and now displays BR NE 5301. The mahogany case has two side doors, a bottom door secured with a brass lock and a spun brass bezel. The LNER clock records show this clock as last in use at Newcastle Forth Station Goods Agents Office and that it was originally NER clock number 1227. In working order but not checked for accuracy complete with pendulum and keys and a copy of the LNER clock record. NB The rear of the case has Worksop AM in black crayon so it might have ended up there briefly before being sold by British Rail at Collectors Corner.
