Foster Campos was an amazing craftsman. Starting back in the late 40\u2019s and early 50\u2019s he worked for Elmer Stennes and essentially designed and fabricated all of the wood clock cases for Stennes clocks. After Stennes\u2019 death Foster launched his own business beginning in 1977 and continued in the tradition of hand made \u201cYANKEE\u201d clocks up until his passing in 2007. This is the rare \u201cCurtis & Dunning \u201d Lyre timepiece and its perhaps Foster\u2019s greatest achievement with incredible acanthus leaf carving in the throat frame, carved presentation bracket and carved leaf finial. The original clocks by Lemuel Curtis are certainly one of the rarest hardest to find clocks for a collector to acquire and that made them a prime candidate for skilled clockmakers and carvers to reproduce. This is the W #4 Curtis Lyre Clock as designated in the trade catalogs and he made this example for Stennes from the late 1940\u2019s up until Elmer\u2019s death in 1975, and after that under his own name in his own shop in Pembroke MA. The superbly hand carved, 40\u2033 tall, mahogany case is a very fine reproduction of a ca. 1830 Lemuel Curtis Lyre Clock. The 7 1\/4\u2033 dial is signed Foster Campos, Pembroke Mass. and has the trademark \u201cpine tree\u201d outside the chapter ring. The 8 day weight brass movement is powered by one of his cast lead weights with the #8 in the casting and cast into the pattern is his name \u201cFoster S Campos.\u201d All of the \u201cmetal\u201d parts: bezel, hinges, tie down were acquired by Foster after the death of Stennes. The eight day weight driven brass timepiece is signed on the front plate \u201cFoster Campos, Pembroke MA\u201d and this movement was made in the USA by Kilbourne & Proctor. Note the die stamp on the inside of the back plate that confirms this attribution. This movement mounts to the backboard from the behind with a single, center bolt. The glass with American shield decoration is original and in excellent condition. . All in all, a very collectible and attractive weight driven timepiece in original estate condition. This is the 3rd clock made by Mr. Campos in the year 1982 as numbered in the inside of the case.<\/h1>\n
