	A Midland Railway late nineteenth century twelve" mahogany drop case clock in good condition. Used in Derby, one of many similar clocks supplied to the MR by John Smith & Sons of that town. Overall height: 22¾". Box with two side doors, bottom door (replaced and secured by a latch) and glazed pendulum window surrounded by a shaped moulding. Original ears lacking. Dial surround of standard sectional construction and containing a glass held in a spun brass bezel by a silvered sight ring plastered in place. Dial written John Smith & Sons, Midland Clock Works, Queen St., Derby. Typical Smiths hands. Gut fusee movement with feet and shaped shoulders.
