Very small wall-mounted 30-hour clock with alarmwork signed George Graham, London c.1750 – 60. Arched dial plate with engraved spandrels and signed 'Geo. Graham London'. . Weight driven movement with verge escapment and short pendulum. Alarmwork with bell missing. Clockmakers' Museum No. 547
Despite the fairly convincing signature, George Graham (successor to Thomas Tompion) died in 1751, perhaps too early to have made this clock.
