Written on parchment, signed and witnessed, original wax seal. v.g. 20 x 26cm. Robert Halstead, 1662 - 1736, of the Crown and Dial (or Golden Crown), Fleet Street, London, was principally a goldsmith, but also a watch and clock maker. He was a freeman in the Clockmakers' Company in July 1668, and made a Master in 1699. To sell and manufacture clocks within the City of London it was necessary to become a freeman of the Clockmakers Company. This was achieved by apprenticeship to a free clockmaker through purchase, or by the right of a child to follow a parent into the profession. Quality was kept extremely high as, if standards slipped, the Company had the right to confiscate or destroy substandard work. In 1679 he took as an apprentice John Trubshaw, who himself became a renowned clockmaker; in 1714 he took Nathaniel Tilly as an apprentice for seven years. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 69800
