Lot 008 - Antique Hand-Painted Clock Dial By James Osborne, Birmingham, England, With Rolling Moon Phase Dial Featuring Moon Man, Landscape, And Ship Paintings, Clock Face Badly Worn, Includes Original Clock Works, Front 12-1/8" x 17-1/8"Pre Auction Notes: Clock face is badly worn with severe paint loss and rust. Moon phase dial is in much better condition, though is very dirty. Clock works included, but not tested. Dial signed "Osborne". Circa 1790 1810.

It currently houses a photograph of a young soldier that looks to be from World War One or earlier

It is in a nice wood frame with a wire hanger on the back and is enclosed in glass

with the support for the mount fashioned out of an old wooden golf club

Pre-Auction Notes: At some point a previous owner wrapped the original art deco work displayed in this frame with canvas and painted a parrot

but it appears to be older than the attached hardware

Here is a stunning antique pot metal lamp made from an old clock topper that features the figural likeness of a beautiful goddess in flowing robes

Every effort will be made to represent and describe all obvious condition issues in the photographs

though the stripes do have some wear from years of use

giving it a nice and natural look

My personal favorite part of this particular book is the directory of local societies such as the Free Masons

The bell sounds great

as it has printed on it a price of 2 for 5 cents
