Antique

This is an antique clock that sits on the wall behind me while I'm blogging. It's 131 years old according to the clock face. It's kind of loud.

Answers to questions in the comments:
Janie Hickok Siess, Esq. asked...I've never seen anything like that before. What is that bottom dial? The bottom tells you the date.  The dial points to the day of the month.

Carol asked...Was this passed down to you through your family or did you purchase it? Ever think of having it appraised say, like on the Antiques Roadshow? This clock belonged to my husband's great-aunt's grandfather.  His great-aunt Mildred, affectionately known as good ol' Aunt Mildew, didn't have any children,  my husband was like a grandson to her.  He would visit her and help her with chores whenever he was in town. This clock has sentimental value and will probably get passed down to my son with the expectation that he will pass it down also, so we've never considered getting it appraised because we would never consider selling it. 

JoeinVegas said...But - did the Wren from a few days ago freeze? I'm happy to say I saw the Carolina Wren this morning. 

srp asked... Is it difficult to keep going? Yes, my husband frequently winds it and fiddles with it.  We muffled the ringer because we couldn't sleep with it chiming the hours.
