Tall Case Identification "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
This clock id 92in tall, 18in wide, and 10.5in deep. My research on the dial points to its being done by James Wilson, English dial maker 1777-1809. I seem to remember that the movement may have come from a New Hampshire clock maker, but that may be totally wrong. Any help in identification would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

That movement looks to be English, maybe early 1800. The making on the date dial Wilson-Birm shows to me the dial likely made in Birmingham England by Wilson.
Interesting the rear plate having a cutout coming to a peak. Not familiar with that.

Moses, thank you for your info. Both front and back plates have the same cutout. I seem to remember a clock maker from Maybe New Hampshire using a similar cutout.

Case details might give clues as to maker and location. Need to know things such as primary and secondary woods, how the hood is attached, shape of internal glue blocks. Dimensions of all parts. All that sort of thing.
