It was my grandmothers'. I don't have much information, other than is has Tempus Fugit on the front (which I understand is fairly common). It has a sticker inside that says Model-114 ; Movement-FM ; Finish - Cgg ; Serial # 664
Roughly 74" H x 16" W x 9" D
Hi David,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Grandfather clocks are tall, freestanding timepieces with a pendulum, often encased in an ornate wooden cabinet. These clocks, typically standing over six feet tall, are known for their deep chimes marking the hour. Originating in the 17th century, they symbolized tradition, elegance, and craftsmanship, and were once seen to enhance home decor.
With so many people telling time either from their cell phone or a smart watch, traditional clocks have largely fallen out of favor with collectors and there is greater supply than demand these days, which keeps values low. Recently, unattributed tall-case or grandfather clocks were selling for $300 or less at auction.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
