<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 10229520, member: 3235"]The supply - demand ratio has not been in favor of values increasing in the past 25 years and actually dropped. Clock production of eight day clocks (the wound once a week workhorse) was huge from 1850s-1920s . . . in the millions, possibly as high as 100 million clocks ! This actually contributed to demise of quite a few makers. The ones that hold higher values are the walnut parlor clocks with finely made cases. Design and attention to detail is very nice on these. When you get into finer high end clocks with sophisticated movements, you see higher values today. Interestingly, large gallery time only wall clocks (no chime) of the 1880-1930 era are sought and selling well today. I have maybe 20 or so assorted clocks holding court in my workshop. . . nice view to another time in history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
