Rob’t ROSKELL, Liverpool. No 40293
Good ‘PATENT’ fusee movement with Massey-3 escapement, circa 1830, from the Alan Treherne collection.
£95.00
Capped fullplate going-fusee movement with three-wheel train. Massey detached lever escapement with 30-tooth escape and type-3 jewelled roller. Steel balance, spiral balance-spring. Lovely engine-turned silver dial. 40 mm diameter, 11 mm deep, not including centre arbor.
Robert Roskell, a most famous Liverpool watch, clock and chronometer maker, and one of the most influential of Lancashire watch retailers.
Edward Massey, the most important detached lever escapement manufacturer of the first half of the 19th century.
A lovely movement by this important Liverpool maker in crisp condition, and with a most unusual dial for Liverpool work. Lacking hands, otherwise complete and nothing broken. Not cleaned by me but ticking happily when wound.
NB. All illustrations and photographs of watches, ephemera, etc, shown on my website are part of my extensive library of horological images. Please contact me for a license to use any of them. Signed copies of my escapement drawings, on top quality paper suitable for framing, also available – prices from £50.
