English round fusee timepiece, ca. 1900.  A 14.5-inch diameter clock in an old oak case with a repainted dial for the Guildford Arms in Edinburgh, Scotland.  The Guildford Arms has been a Free House (pub) since 1896, and prior to that was a hotel.  Whether this clock ever kept the time there is unknown, but it is a distinguished name in Edinburgh. The dial glass is modern, the 8-day fusee movement is unsigned; it is running without issue.  $250-$500.
