SOLD $1,800.00 Sold: May 14, 2025 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
This clock was the soundtrack of my 50's childhood! It used to chime on the hour and half hour- pendulum gently swinging back and forth in our living room. Six chimes meant it was dinnertime.Now, it's in need of service: it needs cleaning, restoring, and a new pendulum suspension. Also, it has a dent in the pendulum (see pics), and the one leg needs straightening. I brought to an expert here in Westchester County, NY, which I imagine is one of the more expensive areas in the country, and was quoted $450 to restore it to its former glory.18.25" x 9" x 5" (Condition: Parts Only)
