Gazo Family Clock Factory “La Mesa”, 1978.  A 56-inch “open well with balcony” model in solid oak with a Jauch 15-rod chime movement that plays Ave Maria by Franz Schubert.  It counts the hours on 4 chimes.  The clock is running and chiming without issue and the case is in perfect condition.  The Gazos began manufacturing clocks by hand in 1975 and the company closed in 1989.  For a complete story of the Gazo Family Clock Factory see The Clock Guy’s write-up here.  Horton’s sold a La Mesa in 2016 for $1000.  The chime on this clock is uncommon.  $800-$1200.
