This is a rare clock for several reasons; the very rare makers name, the presence of the detached fusee's in an 8 day clock, and the type 7.1 8-day brass movement. This arrangement is seen in case-on-case Gothics, but not in simple sharp Gothics. This is another near 100% clock including the glasses. Dial is just too nice, apparently repainted. Wood fusee spools with springs enclosed in the large wood block below the strap movement. Mahogany veneer case is 22 inches high, good finials n one slightly detipped; veneer is almost perfect if not for a chip on the bottom left corner. Agood reference is the NAWCC Bulletin, April 2001, page 233.
