Scope and content
These albums contain images of clocks which went through the business, together with typed "descriptive tickets", i.e. one-page detailed descriptions of the clocks and their cases, dials and movements, prices, as well as biographical notes about the makers and references to published sources. Some clock photographs are included without the descriptive tickets, and conversely, some descriptive tickets do not have accompanying photographs, which are often annotated as having been lent to various individuals or institutions.

System of arrangement
The volumes are arranged chronologically by sale date, which is not given here but which can be found in the cross-referenced stock/sale books in series STR/01 and clock files in series STR/03. However, in some cases, especially for sales after 1996, the stock numbers are not provided, making it difficult to find the records of the sale.

Archivist's note
To facilitate research, the clocks in this series have been individually listed. The terms for clock types are Milo Mighell's, and the short descriptions are quotations from his much more extensive descriptive tickets.
