Ship’s Water Clock 1646

We’ve had an enquiry come in from Australia regarding a ship’s water clock shown in the photos below.

The inscription reads ” B Wilkins – Romford – Anno Dom 1646 “.

No other information, provenance or even if it is genuine is available so we were wondering if anyone could shed any light on either the clock or anything about B. Wilkins.

    hi good evening.
    I also have a water clock but mine is from 1627 and in very good condition.
    I got it from an inheritance and don’t know anything about it
    After doing some research i ended up on your site.
    I wondered if you are interested in taking over the clock.
    I would like to hear from you,
    greetings charitta

    Hello Charitta, this is Belinda from Australia. I am researching 17th Century water clocks. Was just wondering what the inscription is on your water clock & what your ancestry. Would be much appreciated : )
