Steve, The signature on the movement could be 'T Jackson' and there is a 'Thomas Jackson' listed in Clerkenwell, London 1783 - 1810 in Baillies reference. This would fit with the case hallmarks. Assuming the casemakers mark Is 'CT' incursive, then it's probably for: Charles Tisdall, who registered the mark 12. Dec. 1807, again on 5.July 1810 and finally 5th July 1822. All registrations for premises at 13 Greenhill Rents? Presumeably London? There is 1x other listed for Charles Terry on Aldersgate St, but for 1773 and is not in the registers. No other 'CT' incursive marks are listed. Nice example Steve, thanks for posting the photo's. Nice too to see the Grecian columns and flower engravings on the balance cock rather than the more usual grotesque faces! Great to see you got your membership sorted out Gerald, welcome to the boards. Best regards John | ||||

Hi John Been waiting for you great wealth of knowledge. Tom | |||
|
Thanks a million, John. I've beencurious about this watch for years. Steve G. | ||||

Thank you Tom All pieces fit Greenhill rent off Cowcross Street, Islington,London. The Greecian columns may also read (roman) III and be a hint at George III, King of England 1760 - 1820,'Farmer Goerge'. Steve this watch is dated and connected to a maker. Can you take a last picture of the movement, sideways showing one pillar for my database. Regards Gerald | ||||

I'll take another photo this afternoon. | ||||

The pillars are rather plain, don't you think? Thanks once again for all your help! Steve G. | ||||

Thanks a lot ! | ||||
