The style is unmistakable as Bristol / Bath with the wavy edge to the hood door / double pediment with paper frets but such a wonderful small size

brass dial with original blued steel hands. The centre of the dial is engraved in a very distinctive text "Thomas Bullock - Bath" there is an window for the date and a seconds dial.
