A. Single movement by this company that was the predecessor of the Consolidated Time Lock Company c.1880. Time locks made under the Hall name are rare as this company was only in business a few years before being merged into the Consolidated Time Lock Co. Actually, only the name changed as the time locks themselves were identical. Compare to the same style lock, (B) under the Consolidated name. The example above has a case with it's plating in excellent condition and a rare hand engraved, whimsical folk art picture and flowering vines rather than the machined geometric guilloche scroll work found in later movement cases. Only eight of these hand engraved cases are currently known. Case #2644. Movement #2460. file 58
