[rajeshvyas]

hi, recently i got Blundell - double fusee bracket clock. the case is in very bad shape needs lot of work/re-construction, whereas the movement requires thorough servicing - as no major/important parts missing. i would like to know the built of this clock...

Found this clock for sale. http://www.anthonywoodburn.com/antique_clock_details.asp?ID=259

With regards to your clock that is going to require many, many hours to restore including the case. An interesting project for sure.

oh, thanks for the valuable info it should be @1850s. restoration is already in progress, case is almost done. have to make missing hands, repaint the dial and service the movement.

Nice looking clock. Clerkenwell in some ways was the heart of English clockmaking. I cycle through it when I travel to work. 
 

The movement may be similar to my Bryson clock which I recently serviced. You can search for photos of it here. Your clock may have a half-deadbeat escapement like mine does. Mine was also similarly rusty!

Yes, I have seen many clocks with Clerkenwell, London written on the dial or on the movement. Years before there will be many clock makers in this area.  As I do not have much knowledge on the types of escapement wheel I have taken a pix and seems that this must be similar to your Bryson Clock.

That’s a Recoil escapement (an anchor) as the pallets have a single face that the escape wheel teeth rest on (there are two separate faces on a deadbeat).
