Hi Nina,
"Broken Swan's Neck pediment" is antique-speak for the styling/configuration of the scrolls on the top of the clock. It does not mean anything is broken. See this link: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22broken+swan%27s+neck+pediment%22+meaning&rlz=1C1GCEB_enUS966US1063&oq=%22broken+swan%27s+neck+pediment%22+meaning&aqs=chrome..69i57.6895j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
I wonder if you mean the finial that goes between the two scrolled elements? Is it brass?
Thanks to confirm, at your convenience,
Delia
It is wood I have a new picture with it applied if there needs to be another one sent in
Yes, I'd like to see it.
Please send photos to [email protected] and reference this appraisal (https://mearto.com/specialist/items/howard-miller-1977-make-grandfather-clock).
I'll give them the heads-up to be on the lookout for photos for this appraisal.
Thanks!

Hi Delia. I have sent a few more pictures to above email and they stated they already had appraised my item and sent link they told me if I had any further questions or concerns to reach out to you.
Ni Nina,
That's strange, they should still attach photos. I've emailed them asking them to upload any additional photos even though they won't change the value of this clock.
I'll keep you posted!
Delia
Hi Nina,
Our support department sends apologies for not uploading the photos before but has done that now. I can't read the brass plaque that says "Registered to George...."
Can you please confirm what it says? I think then this appraisal will be complete.
Thanks again and sorry for the delays!
Delia
It says “registered to George M March 11th 1977
Sorry correction “registered to George Moninger March 11th 1977”
Hi. Where would the broken swans neck be located? I have the screw on piece for the top of the clock Peak if that’s what it is?
