A George III oak longcase clock, Henry Foster, Brampton, with silvered brass dial with date aperture and thirty hour movement, the case with rounded quarter column corners and canted angles to the base. Height 215 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The seat board is original and the cheeks have not been built up. The mask around the dial fits. We therefore do not think that this clock is a marriage. The movement is currently ticking away and appears to be striking correctly. The date dial appears to be connected. The dial is in very good order and looks to have been re-silvered at some time within the last 10 years. The trunk door is not warped and the case is in generally very good condition. The clock could be used in its current condition without the need for any repair or restoration.
