I quit buying grandfathers to fix and sell. I had 3 in my shop with $175 as the most paid for one of them. After 1 1/2 yrs I finally sold them for about $450 each. All movements were overhauled and were in excellent condition. Don’t know about your area but around here they just don’t sell. If I were to buy one it would be a Howard Miller. I bought one a couple of months ago for $50 at a auction. Tells ya how they sell around here. I sold it today for $350. It was a small grandmother clock. That will be my last one. Even antique clock sales are down here. Haven’t sold one of those in 6 months and only one last year.
