Tall Clock
This clock is a rare example of Samuel Bagnall's work and a fine example of a type made in England beginning about 1730. This case compares to 10.125.388, but is a modest housing for such a well-executed dial; having features that are characteristic of clock cases from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Due to previous restoration, it is impossible to determine whether the clock and the case have always been together or were assembled sometime after their individual manufacture.
