Description: | An incomplete copper alloy toy watch of post-medieval date. The toy consists of a flat, circular sheet of copper alloy that has the design of a clock face upon it; the hours are shown in large Roman numerals. There is a plain central field with a central hole; this probably held a clock hand, secured in place with an iron rivet, as the corrosion suggests. The reverse of the toy is plain and undecoarated. The toy is likely to have been mounted upon a second circular object. Examples of toy clocks are known from the later 16th century and are often made from a lead alloy; this example, the method of manufacture and its style however suggests a much later date, possibly as late as the 18th or even 19th century.
