  National Library of Ireland on The Commons Thanks for the clock. Looks like noon, unless the clock needs fixing. Perhaps the local watchmaker can help ...

  Ankle length skirt, top hat on yerman, we are a lot closer to 1900 than 1936

• beachcomber australia said:

  Rathmines Town Hall opened in 1896 (earliest date).
  " ...The clock in the tower was made by Chancellor and Son of Bachelors Walk, but it was unreliable and the time shown on the different faces were inconsistent, so the clock became known as the "four-faced liar". ... "

  Dublin Evening Mail - Wednesday 12 December 1906. Kearns the watchmaker was a JJ just like his neighbour at number 74.

  beachcomber australia Glad you brought up unreliability. Is it just my ancient wonky eyes, or is the left-hand hand face not as exactly on High Noon?

  This pic was evidently taken at the civic reception for the Australian Commonwealth Band, which was held at Sydney Town Hall on 22nd February, 1927. The band had returned from an overseas tour earlier that day. The tall chap to the right of the Drum Major might be Captain M.E.H. Penfold, who at various points in the mid 1920s was the NSW Governor's private secretary and ADC (he would have been representing the Governor)...the chap next right might be Paddy Stokes, former Lord Mayor (1925) and a NSW Labor Party MLA... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/239927455 - Labor Daily, 23rd February, 1927 (pic) trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/239927443 - Labor Daily item re trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/239931478 - Labor Daily, 28th February, 1928...pic here of Bond's Hosiery Band with the Australian Commonwealth Band... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16356739 - SMH, 23rd February, 1927 (pic) trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16356755 - SMH item re Pic taken earlier that day when the band arrived in Sydney on the SS Marama www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/8159583686/
