This collection comprises business records of Strike One Limited, specialist dealers in antique clocks and other horological items, founded by Milo Mighell in 1968. They include stock/sales books, which list every item that went through the business; clock photograph albums, which contain an image of every clock, together with a typed description (a ‘descriptive ticket’); clock files arranged by clock type, with individual clock descriptions; as well as a handful of sales and exhibition catalogues and other publications with Milo Mighell’s contributions. The archive also contains an interview with Milo Mighell conducted by James Nye in 2024; although not created as part of Strike One’s business activities, it sheds valuable light at its and its founder’s history.

The unique stock numbers, which were assigned to each item at the time of purchase and appear across the collection for cross-referencing purposes, are made up of two parts separated by a full stop/point. Before the full point is the month and two digits for the year. After the full point there is an incremental number assigned to each new purchase. For example, stock number 868.123 indicates August 1968, purchase 123.
