You can look at these clocks and hopefully gain information that will help you write a good description for your clock. Here are some same or similar style clocks presently listed for sale. I believe your clock was made in the late 80s or early 90s (maybe 1990). Your clock does not have the 'fancy' top so be sure if you're looking at clocks for comparison prices that you're looking at a comparable style.
These clocks are generally always listed as 'pick up only' as shipping would be costly and usually only done by stores.Ĭondition is a major concern and you do not mention if your clock is in good condition and/or if all functions are working properly. Some areas may be in love with grandfather clocks while another area may not give one a second glance. Grandfather clocks do not generally have the same value as they did even as late as the 90s but they are still selling - just slow sellers - may take months/years to sell especially considering that your location will have a big impact on the final value. Take the best offer if you are wanting to sell it now. From what I have seen you can try to list this high around $1700 and go from there. I tried to find a few that people were trying to sell but I have not found any that are the same style as yours. However, I can't see the selling prices for these items. This grandfather clock still seems to be popular and I have seen a lot of them sold that were once listed online. Here is the link to the listing so you can check this one out./ 1968404_051082-sligh-trend-grandfather. Here is another one that the asking price for the clock is $1750.
Here is the link if you are interested in registering on the site to see the prices people have paid for this clock./ 1968404_051082-sligh-trend-grandfather. You need to register on the site in order to see what a person has paid for the clock. I have found an auction site that has sold a large number of these clocks. It appears that people are still buying this clock. I'm sure a member of one of these groups will be able to help with this. Members seem to love these clocks and all appear to want to help anyone having problems.Ī seller on eBay has a DVD available on grandfather clock maintenance/repairs but it is on the expensive side so I would ask about it before paying out that much cash. There are several grandfather clock forums online so if you have any problems I would suggest you join one or more so you can ask for help in the future.
I see that you did not ask for value and it is great that you plan to keep your gift - it looks like you have a nice little niche and your gift can maybe be admired by everyone. This is one of the very few sellers that posted a picture of their clock label and they are using the #300 from that label as the model number. I think you will find your clock and all the other 'similar' clocks will all be considered to be in the 300 series.Įmperor Clock Company is still in business and would probably answer your questions they may also have information available on DIY maintenance and parts. If that is true then your model number would be #307 and this seems to be how the sellers are listing their clocks (most sellers do not show a model number because apparently model numbers were only found on the original paperwork and very few people will have this paper/certificate. I do not think your plate has a serial number but may contain the model number. Apparently Emperor Clock Company made several clocks that look almost identical (they may have only changed something inside the clock) but gave them different model numbers.
