This is one of a number of 18-19th Century long case clock dials and movements which are from the extensive collection that belonged to the late Eric Morton 1945 - 2019. I know very little about clocks and know little jargon relating to them. Any questions please ask and I will answer them as best I can.
All items are for spares - repair only and may have bits missing but I know that some NON clock collectors only want a dial to hang on a wall as a furnishing with their surname or a local place name etc. all are A/F = as found.

The metal ware is rusted and tarnished which has effected the enamelling on the front, mostly on the edges and corners where the enamelling has chipped.
The enamelling is cracked throughout and there are some other chips in the enamelling on the front which looked to have been caused by impact.

There are some surface scuffs etc.
