The high quality brass bound mahogany box is in three tiers with a glazed viewing chamber and is in fine original condition. There is also a raised brass carrying handle to each side. The case is signed and numbered by the maker on an original ivory plaque and the number is repeated in the centre of the main dial and has the letters CA along with the Broad Arrow Ordnance mark.
The Frodshams were some of the finest watch and chronometer makers working in the 19th century. Charles Frodsham Senior took over the John Roger Arnold’s business in 1843 and Benjamin Louis Vulliamy’s in 1854.
This marine chronometer was bought in British Guiana after the second World War and it is said to have once been the main timekeeper for the port of Georgetown, the capital of the country.
