Career
Mason was known for constructing longcase clocks with eight-day movements, with two keyholes on either side of the dial. They were driven by two weights. One driving the pendulum and the other the striking mechanism.
His clock faces were always signed Tim Mason.
He was known to be working at an address given as Lords Street in Gainsborough. A copy of Tim Mason’s inventory and personal estate dated 22 January 1734 does not contain any items of trade listed and the certified value of his assets is £9.13.6.
From this it appears that he was retired when he died in 1734 having disposed of his stock, work in progress and tools of his trade. Dated 3–4 December 1714.”.
