Signed: George Minter Sandwich 1808
–
The signature on the dial is fired in when it was made but the plate for the signature has been placed over the maker’s name listed in Baillies 1795. This is dated one year before the hallmark date of the case, perhaps due to London marks being changed in May. George Minter, a cabinet maker in Sandwich, married Mary Debock in December 1804. Interestingly another George Minter, possibly his father, married Sarah Debock in 1771. He died in 1824.
