Firstly I would like to say hello to everyone as I am new to the forum and the world of clocks.
I have recently aquired a grandfather clock, I was given it by the pub I work in and the pub dates back to 1780, the clock on the other hand I have no idea how old it is or who the maker was as there is no makers stamp on the clock anywhere, if anyone has any ideaas to who the maker was or even the date it was made I would be really grateful. the only thing on the clock mechanism is a four digit stamp "3869" on the back plate. The clock is 7 foot 9 and a half inches tall, 12 inches deep and twenty and a half inches wide.
I have added some pictures
Many thanks

Wow that sounds really cool. Now all you need is a pub to put it in.
