197.     $100

English? grandmother clock, ca. 1910.  A 51.25-inch oak case with beaded trim, twisted columns on the dial door, a domed glass over the silvered dial and a beveled glass in the trunk door.  The finish is clean with a patina that indicates some age.  The dial is in good condition, the hands are likely original.  The movement was not removed from the case; it plays Westminster chimes on four straight rods and counts the hours on two rods.  There is a cylinder-style pendulum and the clock runs briefly; the hourly strike is frozen but the chimes play.  There is no label to be found.  A little help should get this girl running.  $100-$250.
