Mahn & Co Clock Restoration Smiths Enfield "Hadleigh" Oak Mantel Clock A Rare Model, Fully Restored, Striking, and Ready to Own Fully Serviced Tested Before Sale Honest Condition Reporting A handsome vintage Smiths Enfield "Hadleigh" mantel clock, dating to the early 1950s, and a genuinely uncommon model that rarely appears on the market, let alone in fully restored, ready-to-enjoy condition like this. Its tall oak case echoes the proportions of a traditional longcase clock in miniature, giving it real presence on a mantel or shelf without dominating the room. Fitted with a square chrome-framed dial, raised Arabic numerals and decorative corner detailing, this is a clock that will draw attention the moment it is unwrapped, and one that has been properly restored rather than simply wound and photographed for a quick sale. Fully Restored Twin-Train Movement Strikes Hour & Half-Hour on Gong Rare Model, Rarely Available Original Winding Key Included Smiths Enfield Smiths Enfield clocks were produced by one of the largest and most prolific British clock manufacturers of the twentieth century, known for solid, dependable movements fitted into a wide range of case styles. The Hadleigh model, with its tall, narrow oak case, was designed to echo the proportions of a traditional longcase clock in miniature form for the mantel or shelf. Restoration Carried Out Movement fully stripped down and ultrasonically cleaned Pivots and jewels lubricated with synthetic clock oil Mainsprings assessed and serviced with Novostar as required Reassembled and multi-day bench tested for timekeeping and strike accuracy Oak case cleaned, revived and wax finished Case & Dial Condition The oak case retains an attractive original patina that only comes with genuine age, warm, deep, and full of character. There are small historic woodworm flight holes to the top left of the case front, now treated and blended into the finish. These are cosmetic, longstanding, and typical of a case of this age, not a functional concern, and are disclosed here in full so you know exactly what you are buying. The dial has a warm aged cream tone with light age-related marks, and the chrome bezel shows some minor pitting consistent with a Smiths clock of this period, wear that adds to rather than detracts from its vintage appeal. Dimensions Height: 20cm (7.9in) Width: 23cm (9.1in) Depth: 12cm (4.7in) Included Supplied with its original Smiths Enfield winding key. Why Buy From Mahn & Co Every clock is individually inspected, cleaned, serviced and bench tested before sale, with honest, specific condition reporting and clear photographs so you know exactly what you are buying. A charming and characterful early 1950s Smiths mantel clock, fully serviced and ready to take pride of place. Clocks like this, uncommon, genuinely restored, and tested rather than simply wound and photographed, do not sit around for long.
