Sold recently at auction in Newark - yours for £1,400, Sir. The magic letters M S & L signify that this clock, which came from the station in Grimsby, was originally for the "Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway Company". That company built the line from Grimsby out to Gainsborough and beyond in the 1840s, and were the successors to The Great Grimsby & Sheffield Junction Railway Company, who had first proposed and planned the line through Gainsborough from Grimsby. In 1847 that company amalgamated with the Sheffield & Lincolnshire Junction Railway and the Sheffield, Aston-Under-Lyme & Manchester Railway Companies to form the MS&LR. When the company's ambitions extended further South to London, the MS&LR became the Great Central Railway Company in 1897.
This clock, which I'd personally love to have ticking away on my office wall, would probably be worth only a couple of hundred pounds at most if it was not for it's railway connection, and in particular, those magic letters M S & L.
If you're a regular visitor to my photos, you'll know that I love clocks. I also love teddies, so when I saw this clock, I couldn't resist it! It sits on my kitchen wall helping me time what I'm cooking.

Inside and above the front entrance to the Cathedral di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. The face of the clodk was painted by Paolo Uccello in 1433.
The hand of the clock (there is only one) marks the hours from sunset to the following sunset (which happens at XXIIII) and must be reset weekly because of the change in time of the sunset.

The hands of the clock never stop moving, while the tower endures every changing season. Our lives require the discipline to continue and the steadiness to endure.

Ok...funny story...while shooting this collage of clocks, I went into the kitchen to see what time it was-out of habit I guess-lol. Major blonde moment, eh?!
Anyway, I love clocks! I have at least one in every room! My six year old only knows how to tell time on these old school clocks, not digital. I guess I am someone who likes to know what time it is. I like to be on somewhat of a schedule. Even when I was a kid I loved and collected watches. Maybe its the constant tick tock tick tock that I love. Maybe its just my need to collect things. Whatever it is...I love clocks and the hope of more time.
This is a Junghans ATO clock, which dates back to the early 1950's or so. It is an electro-mechanical clock. There is a curved magnetized rod attached to the bottom of the pendulum. A solenoid coil, on the left, is briefly energized when the escapement closes a switch. The energized coil generates a magnetic field, which pulls the pendulum to the left.
The clock has a glass case, which is removed for this photo.
