Pattye JonesIdentification of English? Bracket Clock
Hello all:
Could someone help me identify a very nice inlaid bracket clock with the following markings:
On the dial:
Carroll
London St. E. C.
I suspect that is the merchant.
On the backplate of the movement in a key-shaped logo:
Coventry
Beneath the logo:
Astral
Please help with any information on this clock.

Pattye JonesThanks, Frank. Would that be a clockmaker or a merchant? Is there further information?
Don't have that book. Will check the library.
