History
The style 1 Bingo was made from 1914 to 1925. It was very
similar to the Big Ben style 1a. Its movement is rear-mounting like the
Big Ben style 1a, and the dial has numerals like the very early Big Ben
style (notice the backwards curve on the numeral 7).The case is smaller
than the Big Ben case. The legs are double hexagon like the first Big Ben
style1a clocks.
The style 1 Bingo has the intermittemt feature like the Big Ben, but it
cannot be shut off.
