Superb high style Federal Tall case clock by Aaron Brokaw,

Fine case work with flared French feet, fan inlays, circles and ovals,
and the gracefull high broken arch, for which New Jersey tall clocks were noted.
Extensive edge and line inlay work.

Note the simplicity of his movement. Casting porosity, cutouts to
conserve brass, smooth great wheel spools.
