FULLY RESTORED GAZO SAN MARCOS TRIPLE CHIME WALL CLOCK For your consideration is an impressive Gazo San Marcos triple chime wall clock. I encourage you to look up the history of the Gazo family, they made very high-quality clocks in very limited numbers. I bought the clock from the family of the original owners and serviced the movement in my shop. After servicing, the clock ran for 11 days before the springs fully wound down. The movement is stamped with a date of manufacture of June 1980 and the back tag shows that the clock was sold by Argo Clocks of Santa Clara, CA on December 20, 1980. Triple Chime means that the clock will play your choice of Westminster, Whittington, or St. Michael. There is a selector switch at the top of the dial to make the selection. The case is solid oak, measuring 38 inches tall by 13.5 inches wind and 9.5 inches deep. Please look carefully at the 16 attached pictures as they provide a large amount of the description of this fine timepiece. I would also encourage you to check recent eBay sales for this Gazo model, it is how I determined the asking price and, in my opinion, this clock is superior because of the movement being serviced. GAZO FAMILY CLOCKS HISTORY. Around 1973, Lou and Cleo Gazo, along with their children Ed and Renee, took the family hobby to the next level and started the Gazo Family Clock Factory. The idea was to build clocks based on the highly carved European clocks that they had been importing and restoring. Gazo clocks were mainly sold by clock shops like The ClockPeace, a chain of clock stores with locations in Carmel, San Francisco, and La Jolla, California. Gazo also ran two stores in Scottsdale, AZ and Beverly Hills. As you can see by the store locations, Gazo clocks were high-end and purchased by the most discerning buyers. Lou Gazo retired in 1982 and Ed Gazo became president of the company. Gazo Clocks continued to operate until 1989 when they finally ceased operations. Gazo clocks are still highly sought after today for the highly carved and well-built cases. PAYMENT AND SHIPPING. People deserve to be treated fairly and to expect that their transaction will be handled as if the business was being done face to face. Read my feedback and you can see that I live by these words. I know that the shipping cost seems high but this is an item of substantial value so eBay requires that it be sent out fully insured and with signature confirmation. There are also substantial costs in building a box strong enough to make sure that the clock arrives in the same condition that it left in and the fact that the box will weigh over 50 lbs. Check my feedback, I am an expert in proper packing. Due to the vibration of shipping, no guarantee can be given but this item is covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee program. Also, I pride myself in excellent preparation for shipment and can help via email or by phone in getting the clock set up. Clock will be shipped by UPS so I cannot ship to PO boxes. Thank you for looking at my auction. RECENT CUSTOMER FEEDBACK This seller practices outstanding communication! The 1898 Seth Thomas "Larkin" mantle clock was beautifully and perfectly restored. It operates flawlessly and the chimes are amazing. The seller included excellent instructions and answered several questions I had after delivery. The clock was packaged quite well, and there were no issues with damage. The price was more than fair for what I received. Would definitely buy from this seller again!
