Lot 193
A British Railways fusee wall clock with 8" circular painted dial with Roman numerals marked BR 171 SR, the back plate marked 6472 London £100-150

Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that the lot is actually a reproduction clock, as Southern Railway records do not list a BR 171SR. There are also other factors which make us believe that this is fake, such as the door being hinged to the left and a common number to the movement. In fairness, the clock does have a fusee movement but it is modern
