Clock is now almost complete. Photos show the clock in its unrestored state. This is an totally original small circular dial wall clock signed C Chambers of Colchester.

| Information about the maker
Astral were well known English clockmakers. Chambers at Colchester would probably have been the retailer. (We have just found a record of G. Chambers and Sons of Colchester in an online directory of clockmakers & retailers). We estimate this clock was made approx 1910.
