The case, which has a rich color and a wonderful surface, has a form and layout typical of the cabinet shop of Stephen Badlam of Dorchester, Massachusetts. Several similar cases bear the mark of Stephen Badlam or his apprentices, this clock bears the incised initials “IC” for the Badlam apprentice Joseph Crehore.
