Maine, tall case clock, 8 day, time and bell strike, weight driven movement with unusual cast iron plates in a cherry case with fret work top, ogee feet and two brass finials and painted metal dial. the case retains its original finish. There is one spur absent from original whale's tail top. The hood door has had the hinges removed and swingout hinges added, one of which is absent. There is a vertical age split in base. The finials are incorrect and are actually period pillar & scroll finials. The weights are replacements. The cast iron plates are typical of the Rogers family and other Quaker Maine clockmakers of the early 19th century. Please see Joseph Katra's "Clockmakers & Clockmaking in Maine 1770- 1900" page 50 for a similar example.
