Bowra of Sevenoaks
I thought you may be interested in a strange message I found in a very nice double fusee mantel clock, In a large wooden ‘steeple’ case.
The maker was Bowra of Sevenoaks.
On the back of the dial were a number of dates and descriptions of servicing carried out but the weird message I also found, reads as follows.
‘Clive May 1st 77’ ( I think this name goes with the message.)
‘Mr Reynolds just
hit a man with his Basket
he must be a
Fool to let him
do it’
I wonder if any other unusual messages have been discovered.
