Brass arch dial by William Stumbels, Aveton Gifford, 12” x 16¼”, with date ring, strike/silent slot,

A good Swiss 8-air, 9" cylinder musical box in an inlaid walnut case. Cast-iron base with lever wind. In
1996 it had a full restoration by Paul Tuck in Clerkenwell costing over £700, This included a full
cylinder repin, three tips in the comb and re-dampering, the Governor was rebuilt by Roy Connor with a
new endless and wheel and the case was polished. Sadly the original tune card is missing *
Ship’s clock - German U-boat clock made by Kleineger and Obergfell. This clock is reputed to have been
salvaged from a 1st WW U-boat by the vendor's grandfather although there is no document to prove this.
It is quite an early model, having a very well-finished going barrel platform escapement movement and
an engraved silvered brass dial. The clock was overhauled in the mid 1990s and the original escapement
was substituted with an ex Venner platform on an adapter plate, so no extra holes were made in the
plates. The original, superb, damascened and nickelled escapement is secured in the back of the case, at a
quick inspection it does not seem to have anything wrong with it other than requiring pivot polishing and
cheering up a bit *
