This is the Grandfather clock we inherited when my Mother-in-law passed away three years ago,it has always been a bit of a joke because when we came to move it the gla** door on the face fell off as did the botton plinth we got it working then the chain wound itself around a cog and stopped,well today a man came to look at it he said it's age was between 1780 and 1820 we thought maybe 1890 plus so I suppose it had a right to fall apart at that age,we hope to have it restored soon not to look brand new just working again, I wonder who brought it and how much it cost. | |

Was there a label to be found inside the pendulum area, or on the back of the clock? What (if anything) is on the face of the clock?
Have you tried any on-line searches to match the design to others that may have been catalogued? |
