An exceptionally interesting and rare 'coffin' clock of about 1700 being an unsigned thirty-hour single-handed clock. The case is typical of the very first years of longcase clock making, barely moved on in style from a lantern clock case. Very few coffin cases survive. An even rarer feature of this case is that it has its original carving, of which only a handful are known. Nailed inside is a 19c owner's label from Sale, Cheshire. SOLD.
