Tall Clock, circa
1790
Benjamin Clark Gilman, Exeter, New Hampshire
Overall in fine
condition with an eight day movement with hourly strike.
The original red
painted surface, which had been partially removed, has been restored.
Height: 88"
In addition to
being a clockmaker and silversmith, Gilman installed the first
aqueduct system in Exeter in 1797 using logs with a five inch
bore.
Recently, while installing new water mains in town, remnants
of this type of pipe were found still intact.
$6,800.
