J. B. Hawkins (Thomas Cole & Victorian Clockmaking, Sydney, 1975) suggests Thomas Cole (1800-1864) made approximately 75 tripod clocks (p. 36) and illustrates comparable examples with barometer/thermometer arrangements to the base (items 37 and 40). Similar long duration versions have been sold Christie's London, the Ellerslie house Collection, 24 May 2001, lot 88, clock 1317/37 (£16,450) and anonymous sale, 12 December 2001, lot 176, clock 840/8 (£19,975). This clock would have had a pendulum with spherical bob. Its number suggests it was No. 1065 in Cole's series and the 33rd clock of its type. See also lot 185.
