John Wilding Skeleton Clock

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

What value would you put on a John Wilding Skeleton clock?

Nearly complete with parts to finish and including the book.

This is to go in the Freeads section of Model Engineer.

No idea what it is worth.

It is in the public domain that John Wilding has down-sized his property in the recent past. Many of his clocks were auctioned at one of the famous London auction houses, I believe it was Bonhams in May 2011. I f you have the time you might be able to find the auction results but I remember thinking at the time that they were fairly disappointing; I seem to recall that £1,600 was the highest bid for a skeleton clock given John Wilding's expertise and eminence in contemporary British horology.

You say yours is nearly complete, but how much of the polishing has been done?

Hi There

It is not mine.

It belongs to a reader who is to unwell to finish it.

I am looking for a ball park figure to go in the Free ads column.

regards David
