A Cambrian Rly. Late 19th or early 20th century 5" brass drum clock in good condition. Used at Portmadoc. Overall height 5½" (excluding feet and handle). The cap scratched C65, Portmadoc Booking Off. Case side stamped 65. Vitreous enamel dial written Cam Rys with a central feather motif. Eight day spring driven movement with platform escapement and integral winder. Moon hands. These rarely encountered Cambrian drums are larger than the ubiquitous GWR version.
