[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4366075, member: 8363"]I am completely out of my depth here, as I have read posts about clocks here but have never bought one. For some reason, this plain mantle clock interested me. It was sold as not working, but since there was no winding key, I'm not sure if they ever tested it. In a cursory glance online at the store, I saw these were quality made Dutch clocks. The ones I saw online were far more elaborate, though. Its design follows the lines of some I saw with brass finials, brass feet and nice woods. Perhaps it is early or during the war production. It is 10 1/2 inch tall, 7 inches wide and 3 inches deep. The question is whether it is worth having repaired or does it not little more value than the $55 I paid for it, and I should just leave it be as an attractive decorative item with a little cleanup of the wood. Please help me decide.
