C.H. Baillie describes him as 'A very fine maker of clocks', and he was so highly regarded during his lifetime that he won the contract to care for the Tower of London clocks from Thomas Tompion. Records show that he was free of the Clockmakers Company in 1671, was made Assistant to the Clockmakers Company in 1691, Warden in 1699 and Master in 1702 until 1723.

The New York Hall of Science was established in 1964 as part of the New York World's Fair, and unlike many other institutions established for the fair, the Hall of Science remained open and was one of the first Science museums in the world. Unfortunately, by 1979 the museum required extensive refurbishment and the funds could not be found to keep it maintained, and so it closed to the public. City funding was not allocated to the Museum and lacking public donations it fell into further disrepair and many of the exhibits were given away or sold, such as the present lot. The Museum eventually reopened in 1986 and remains open today.
