Reclaimed Vintage External Cast Iron Railway Clock by Gents of Leicester

Reclaimed Vintage External Cast Iron Railway Clock

A fabulous example of a heavy duty industrial cast iron clock by Gents of Leicester.

Made in Leicester, England circa 1940.

This cast iron variety of Gents of Leicester clocks known as model C38 were first introduced in 1914 and were designed for extreme environments, in order to survive any weather conditions it may have faced in industrial settings such as factories during the war effort in the decades that followed.

Incredible patination created from years of extreme conditions the clock has been cleaned up and clear matt lacquer to lock in the wonder finish.

The existing trademark arrow design Gents clock hands run on the original slave movement which can function either by main power or battery via a modern impulse driver included.

There is a small section of damage to the casting visible in image 10 which does not affect its function nor is visible from a general viewing angle.
