C.1810, Thomas and Hoadley, Plymouth, Conn, an excellent early tall case in original condition. This is about as good as it gets for a 30 hour tall clock from this time period. Yes, it was Seth Thomas (only 25 at the time) and Silas Hoadley that formed a partnership on July 7, 1810, that lasted until Dec 4, 1813. The dial on this clock is as close to outstanding as you can get; there is minor loss of gilt trim, but none of the base paint is absent, and with an excellent chapter and signature. The original grain painted finish is very dark. On the hood, it is likely that a matching finial once stood in the center, however, there is precedence for this motif, see Distin and Bishop, figure 105 from the Winterthur Museum. Scroll tips on hood reglued (all appear original) and other minor scrapes, bottom plinth with center crack. Hour hand is loose; we taped to hold it in place. Height 88 inches
