Eureka Nº 404

The short movement in this clock, s/n 404, is completely hidden by the case and dial. The case is of mahogany with inlay to the front. It is in very good condition and will only need a light polish with a good Beeswax. There seem to be no major marks or damage.

The rear of the case has a full length door with a brass catch.

The movement sits on a seat board above a compartment that used to hold a full size 1.5volt Flag cell battery. Most clocks now are fitted with a small modern ”D” cell battery in its place. This clock has been modified with some sort of 1950’s connector. It may have been run on a 3 or 4.5 volt battery. Suffice to say the clock does not run once connected to a 1.5volt cell. It may just need a good clean or there may it be something more fundamental. The balance spring looks to be in good condition with the right number of turns.
