This was my Grandmothers clock and it sat on her mantlepiece in her sitting room. When she died I was eleven but she left the clock to me as she knew I had always loved it. I have always tresured it. I don't have it working as it has the loudest tick I have ever heard and it keeps me awake!!
Great photo of your beautiful clock and thanks for sharing the story. You've reminded me that my grandmother gave us a clock (just an ordinary one) which also had a loud tick. When Ray was studying for his Insurance Institute exams it used to drive him crazy and he used to stuff it into my sewing basket so he couldn't hear it!
@elaine55 Hi Elaine - this is very loud!! You can hear it upstairs in the bedrooms with the doors closed!! There is also a quarter chime which I can't stop!! I have tried it a couple of times but given up in the end!! LOL!!
