Atkins Clock Co. “London” thirty-day fusee, ca. 1859-1879.  While most examples of this model contain a standard 8-day spring-driven time-and-strike movement, a few were made with wagon spring or fusee movements; this one contains a time-and-strike fusee movement that runs for 30 days.  The finish on the 17-inch rosewood case is dark and patinated and may be original.  The dial glass and mirror both look original, with good retention of the painted dial surround and age-appropriate losses to the mirror.  The contoured zinc dial has been repainted, the club hands are period and appropriate.  The fusee movement has two thick brass plates and attached fusee/springs below it.  The pendulum stick is wood, the bob old.  The clock is running and striking on the hours on the spelter bell.  There is a good label inside.  AAC sold a similar example in 2021 for $1850.  $1200-$2000.
