That was a unique and somewhat
wonderful find made by Mrs Charles
Record on Dillingham; Hill in Auburn,
a short time ago. While rummaging
among some old and forgotten relics in
the attic she came across an old clock
that is 4 mystery. 1t is six inches
across the face which is hand made of
wrought iron. Into this iron matrix
is set bronze ornaments that shine like
gold The hour figures are rudely cut
in Roman characters. One hand is a
bronze Ratchet and the other one is
made in the form of a spear. The one
weight is of iron. On the lower part
of this clock is the following inscrip-
ton: "1511-ScOtland." This simple in
scription shows that it is one of the
very Oldest things of it's kind in ex-
lstence. 1t is complete mystery to
the family where it came from as no
one had over seen it before or knew of
its existence. AS a relic of ancient
timepieces it is certainly very valu-
able.
