I was thrilled to win the ebay auction for this clock. It is from 1928 or 1929. It plays Westminster chimes on the hour and a shortened version on the 1/4 and 1/2 and 3/4 hours. I love hearing it! The photo behind it is my Mom's great-grandmother and step-great-grandfather. Ya'll Come Back Now! Lorilee
Oh, Lorilee, you know me, always looking at the details! Does it wind, and how often? Can you turn the chimes off? I love clocks (almost as much as lamps), especially if they chime, cuckoo, or make a noise! I have several that chime, but have to turn them off at night, they bother hubby.
Hi Nola, I can turn off the chimes if I wish. It is doubtful that I ever will, since that was a requirement! It must be wound every 7 days. I have to wind it in the holes at the #4 and #8. Blessings, Lorilee
I teach 4 year olds during the school year. In my spare time(haha), I enjoy clogging, gardening, sewing, cake decorating, and old things! I am married to my high school sweetheart. We have two sons, ages 27 and 17!
We have 2 dogs (Honey and Lexi), a rabbit (Chewey),three cat (Samson, Rascal and Bella) and 7 chickens. The hens are Blossom, Buffy, Scarlet, and Matilda. I had on roo, Gottlieb. Then I let Buffy sit on some eggs and I ended up with 2 more roosters. My coop is called Cackleberry Cottage.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy your visit. I enjoy sharing all the wonderful "little things" that make life so special! Say hello and leave a comment!

I have one that is very similar-- belonged to my grandfather. I adore it.
