English bracket chime, ca. 1930?  An 18.5-inch mahogany case with a triple-fusee movement for time, strike, and chime, Westminster or St. Paul’s.  An elaborately engraved dial backplate with a silvered chapter ring, appropriate hands, and the usual sub-dials for chime-silent, fast-slow, and chime selection.  There are fretwork side panels backed by red fabric, a back door with a metal screen, and two full columns on either side of the front.  The heavy plate triple-fusee movement is unsigned, with four cathedral gongs for the chimes and one heavier gong for the strike.  It is running and striking dutifully. This is not a terribly old model to my eyes, based on the condition of the case and dial.  The mahogany is in very clean condition, as is the dial.  There are locks on the front and back door but no door key; the front door is slightly warped and a key to latch the door would be helpful; one can probably be obtained from clock supply houses or locksmiths.  I couldn’t find a good matching sales record, but would expect $600-$1200 for this triple fusee, gong-chime clock.
