THOMAS WAGSTAFF CLOCKMAKER PLUS
Some 30 plus examples exist, including one which is in the collection at Winterthur with a case constructed by Thomas Affleck who was a very talented Philadelphia cabinetmaker. It was not uncommon for many to return to America with one of his movements to be cased here.
When Quakers from Colonial American visited London, they were welcomed and received lodging in his home. Most of whom lived in the Philadelphia area. He was a dedicated Quaker and had many acquaintance who lived in America. His correspondence indicate a warm and highly socialized personality. He was diligent and prolific worker and by temperament, patient and conscientious. Business and Corporate Law: Employment Law: Personal Injury Law: Real Estate Law: Litigation: Appeals: Mediation and Arbitration. Thomas is a member of the Missouri bar with 23 years of legal experience. It is said that he was a physically large individual. Wagstaff practices personal injury law in Kansas City, MO, at Wagstaff and Cartmell. By 1753 he is listed as a Merchant and Taylor in London later as a Watchmaker. This town is located some 67 miles northwest of London. Thomas was born in 1724 in the small town of Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. “Thomas Wagstaffe, London.” He is listed in Brain Loomes “Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 1,” As working between 1756 through 1793. This clock was made 1775.Ībout Thomas Wagstaffe of London, England. This clock is 7.75 inches deep at the feet as well. The width measured at the base or the feet is 11 inches. Measured with the handle down it is 19 inches tall. The dimensions are as follows: The height measured with the handle in the up position is 20.5 inches.

It still retains its original crown-wheel escapement and the pendulum has a steel rod, a brass lenticular bob and is suspended by steel suspension The steel work is well executed.
