This clock is a reproduction of one made by Joseph Doll of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, circa 1800.

This clock features a moon phase dial with calendar and has an eight-day movement with Westminster chimes, chiming on the quarter hour. If preferred, the works can be set in the silent mode. This is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional American made clock with a historic American motif.
