Brass bodied clockwork roasting spit, by T. Sanderson in York- A clock mechanism with a spring that can be wound up with a key. The clock mechanism gently rotates the spit, ensuring even browning and cooking of the food. These clockwork roasting jacks gained popularity from the 18th-19th centuries onward. They were commonly used with smaller fires for roasting smaller pieces of meat such as chickens, sausages, and fish. This example is 17" tall, winds with a clock key (not included) and appears in very good visual condition, untested for function. BP
