Extreme-grained tiger maple tall case clock. It is a very fine copy of one made 2 centuries ago by Thomas Jackson (1727-1806) a clockmaker who was born in England and emigrated to Portsmouth, NH. He later lived and worked in Kittery, ME, Boston, and Preston, CT. The stunning case was made by Chris Harter of Madison, NY, and was featured in Early American Life Magazine in August 1993 and August 2006. The rotating moon phase dial was hand painted after the original by Gerhard Hartwigs of Pauhack, PA. The precision 8 day brass bell and strike movement was made by David Lindow of Lake Ariel, PA. The anchor-recoil escapement is very reliable and rugged. The clock is in excellent running condition. The hood has three brass finials and a crest-board design often referred to as whales' tails. The wavy pattern on the base could have been inspired by the sea as well. It measures 90 inches tall, 18 inches wide at the bracket base, and 10 inches deep.
