Mantle clock

This came from my maternal grandmother and would like to know the age of it, etc. There are no markings.

Looks like a walnut "gingerbread" clock ca. 1890. There is usually a label on the back or inside the clock that tells you who made it and where. Connecticut would be a pretty safe guess.

Depending on the manufacturer, a clock like this in working order can go from $150 on up.

You can tell there was something on the back before but it's gone now. The clock works great and I plan on keeping it...I just didn't know anything about it. Thanks

Can you open the back and look at the clock works,, should be a name on it  !!  The case is not as important as who made the clock !!

Open the door and look closely on the back n' sides behind the pendulum for any "penciled" writing.

Sometimes, clock repair persons "signed & dated" it when it was cleaned or repaired.

I've looked everywhere and there is nothing. There is one place that maybe something was written but it's either faded or stained over...possibly could be discoloration of wood.

Look at the metal clockworks not the wood and see if there is a name ??  May need to open the back !!
