At first thoughts, nothing very special. Just an oak 18th century 8 day longcase. But what a design, tall (235 cm) slender case, beautifull color, top to bottom all original. Even the caddy top and plinth are still in place. Original pinacles, seatboard, backboard etc. etc. Made arround 1765 I think by Samuel Clay the elder from Gainsborough. Although made circa 1765, still has five pillars, early collets and completely scribed frontplate where the weels would be placed.Movement has all the early signs. I love this clock
