A fine Caledonia Clock Company, Anglo-American Drop Dial wall clock in good working order, with great dial and has recently been cleaned and overhauled, time keeping commensurate with age of the clock.

The British United Clock Co. made their own movements, possibly thinking they could maintain a higher standard of quality. They lasted only about 25 years, perhaps driven out of the market by cheaper mass-produced clocks And while on BUCC, E. J. Tyler, in his  American Clocks for the Collector (1981), mentions that the Caledonian movements were made by BUCC (p. 119).
