Anyone with a long case Grandfather Clock?
 
as title, anyone have one?
wanna show a pic?
Do you know how old it is, history etc?

I know there're no so popular now and prices have really dropped but I've just got one last week at an auction, £350!! :)

Cleaned the case up yesterday also cleaned all the 'works' and oiled them and dad's fiddled with it today and got it ticking/working.

just keeping an eye on the time to see if its going too fast or slow :lol:

Yep, I've got one, made in 2000 or so in Suffolk, Hermle movement, solid mahogany case keeps time to about 15 seconds a week, and has the choice of three chimes;) Cost me £399 on Flea-bay.

Rose's father used to make Grandfather clocks back in his woodworking days, so there is one working clock currently at her mother's house, and a couple of carcasses, one of which is Rose's and within the next couple of months we should be getting the mechanism installed and we'll then have a functioning clock :)
