English miniature lantern alarm clock, 1753-1779.  The inscription reads “Edn Smith Bury From London N.361”.  I believe this corresponds to Edmund Smith, a watch and clockmaker from London who set up a shop in Bury St. Edmonds in 1753 (Bury St. Edmonds is in Suffolk northeast of London).  The clock is 7.25 inches tall with a single hand and an alarm ring on a tarnished dial, with a boss above with the maker name inscribed.  There is a crown wheel escapement on top and an attached pendulum, and two side doors; the alarm strikes on the bell on top.  A lead weight and a smaller iron weight drive the time and alarm.  I did not test it.  An old shelf is included.  Skinner’s sold a very similar example in 2013 for $6600. $4500-$6000.
