During autumn 2014, we heard from a<br />
collector who had bought a bracket<br />
clock made by <strong>Joseph</strong> <strong>Smith</strong>. It is a<br />
timepiece, with Knibb-type repeat.<br />
When a cord is pulled, the last hour is<br />
struck, followed by the last quarter<br />
(ting tang). It was probably made<br />
during the period between 1725 <strong>and</strong><br />
1740.<br />

The image far right shows the clock<br />
after restoration; the other three<br />
images were taken before any work<br />
was done.<br />
Thanks to the generosity <strong>of</strong> the owner,<br />
we are able to include these images.<br />
