[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 81637, member: 25"]You have an English fusee lever pocket watch movement from about 1850-70. The dust cover is secured with a sliding clip, move this slightly sideways using the tiny knob and the dust cover lifts off. The maker's name is usually on the backplate of the movement. A look inside from the side will show if it is a fusee, as you can see the chain and conical pully. Why anyone should call it a clock is beyond me. The maker's name may well be that of the same or another retailer. Many so called watchmakers merely finished ebauches, anonymous movements from notable watchmaking centres such as Coventry and Prescot.[/QUOTE]
