The stock/sales books list every clock that went through the business. They record the stock number, date of purchase, description, supplier, cost, repair details (description, repairer, dates and cost), total cost, retail price, date sold, sales price and buyer's name and address. The unique stock number given to every item consists of a three- or four-digit month and year tag, followed by a sequential number.
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.
