It\'s been in the same family since the day it wasacquired.Given the family history, I believeit was bought between 1880-1890
The clock is REALLY dirty. I don\'t believe it has ever been cleanin the past 60 years....then again, perhaps...never.
Please take in consideration that I\'m not a clock expert. That said, it will strike on the hour & half hour when the hands are turned by the key.However, at present....it\'s not keeping time. I think the last time it was polished was about 30+ years ago, you can see the vintage traces of silver polish.
Thank You for Taking a Look!
If you have questions.....Please ask.
