A superb early Georgian (1720-30) oak country 8 day longcase / grandfather clock

With 10 inch brass dial and silvered chaper rings

In working condition, keeps good time . 

Note: 

the date ring whilst present is not connected and thus does not work, Also the strike/silent lever is missing

THE MAKER

Movement & dial dates from the period 1715-30 and made by Thomas Kefford of Royston Herts, (noted at the bottom of the dial) who appears in the makers list in  Brittains/Baillie's book :

 Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World

NB: Oak case would appear to be from a later period late 18th or early 19th  centuary, but given it's proportions looks to have been made from this movement
