ITEM DESCRIPTION
My stock ref: #ESK/JUNE26/q3260ty - in collective box on shelf..
DIAL ONLY
This is a rather nice antique long case / grand father clock DIAL only. It is signed at the bottom edge Jno Rigg Gisbrough
This is from Jonathan Rigg of Guisborough and could well be c1735 - 1750 in date. Lots of people collect just the dials these days as they do not have the ceiling height to get the complete longcase clocks in.
I ONLY have this dial, no other parts. It is just as it has come in. You will see it has had some repairs to the dial in antiquity as well. Top left corner is split on the sheet brass, it has some copper rivets in here attaching a brass plate at the back to stop it from splitting more.
Bottom two corners have cut out sections, these have been cut to fit its wooden case.
Roman main numerals and finer 5 - 60 numbers on the outer edge. These are all picked out in black paint.
The dial has a date window and 2 key holes as well as the top smaller dial which is just over 2 and a 1/4 inch dia. x just short of 1 and 1/4 inch internal dia. Central hands hole is slightly worn larger.
Looking on the back there are 3 original pins holding the circular dial in place on the front, its missing a small pin so this dial is loose at the top left.
You will also NOTICE the shafts that hold the movement to the dial have been CUT OFF !!, why I do not know, as you will need to braise a short section on if you want to put a movement on it.
Of course it will HANG on a wall now as an antique decorative fitting if you happen to live in Guisborough or you are related to Jonathan Rigg.
The dial is 11 and 5/8ths inch wide x 12 and an 1/8th inch long. The circular dial is just over 11 inch dia. outside measurement x just short of 6 inch internal dia.
It weighs approx. 1.6 kilos.
All items are sent via Royal Mail unless they are large or heavy - see below.
