Clock No:  2038  SOLD

RAF Sector clock No: 2038

A 1942 Type II sector clock in good original condition.  These clocks replaced the Type I Elliott clocks in 1942.  They had cases that were successively made of mahogany, beech, oak and plywood, each poorer quality wood indicating the worsening shortage of materials in Britain during WW2.  This particular clock has a beech surround stained in a mahogany colour.  

RAF Sector clock No: 2038

The dial is the same size as a type I clock, fourteen inches but the clock is slimmer due to the use of an Astral platform escapement movement.  The dial is un-restored.  These dials last better than Type I dials because they were tinned when new and hence hardly rust.
