Tips for Valuing Antique Grandfather Clocks
By admin | March 31, 2008
First of all, see the signature on the movement of the dial of the clock. While it could help one to identify the age of the clock, however, it is not a foolproof method to date a clock. Sometimes, the signature could be of the distributor or dealer, and not the clock maker.
On the other hand, if you somehow could manage to get hold the name of the clock, you can rely on any of the good clock maker guides in print to assess its year of manufacture.
Finally, check the antique clock in detail. Clocks with its original elements intact – clock mechanism and wood - are valued more than restored or altered ones. If you are new in this domain, seek the help of a professional to assess the antique grandfather clocks before you pay for them.
