Dana J Blackwell collection. Charles Frodsham (1810-1871) the most famous of the Frodsham family of clock and watch makers, began to sign some of his best watches with AD Fmsz. This code stands for the date 1850 signifying, it is thought, his new caliper of watch designed in 1850. Dial with small edge chips, otherwise a very good example of this makers work. Not cleaned by me. Working. £175.00 | |
