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 glass 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. | |

| You'll likely have to move it some more, to discover who made it...
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? |
