Hello,
This was an estate sale find. Little info was found online about this and no info that I could find on this message board. Some info states it was made in 1796 by a G or C Parker from Wisbeach or Wisbech. No markings on movement either. The case matches the attached PDF file except for no finials. Does anyone here have any good info?
Thanks so much,
Jerry

The style of dial is in keeping with the date you quote. Loomes has a G Parker in Wisbech 1795 but no C Parker which of the two is what the name on the dial looks more like but typos today are just as common, Wisbeach looks like one too . It's a nicely painted dial.
