My great-great grandparents clock
The only way to really describe it is to have someone look at the photos. It seems to be in great condition.
Sorry, it's at our home on Nantucket and I didn't measure it - guessing 18 inches long or so
Inherited
Yes
Hi Kathleen,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Are there any names on the dial (or inside or underneath)? I don't see any names in the photos but just wanted to make sure.
ALSO, is this made of marble/stone (and is heavy)? or is it painted wood or plaster?
I understand if the clock isn't accessible now and can do a provisional / conditional appraisal based on what I see or what you CAN tell me.
Thanks,
Delia
If you're willing to wait on this until March when you can examine this in person that would be slightly preferable to me (only so then I don't have to revise an appraisal). I'll leave this open and just come back with a comment when you've had a chance to look at it in person.
If you're prefer I do a provisional appraisal now please let me know, and Happy Holidays!
Delia
We can wait; happy holidays to you too. Many thanks for wanting to be precise.
My husband is asking roughly how much of a price difference wood would be vs marble 🙄
LOL...no worries...painted wood is probably worth half as much as marble (and when I see better photos in the Spring I can give a more precise answer...
I'm here if you need anything else!

Hi Delia; My husband thinks it's painted wood, but it does have some weight to it. Perhaps we should just wait until we're back up on Nantucket in March to finish, or a provisional/conditional would be fine for now. There are no brand names on it, unfortunately.
