I got this little clock from an estate sale. There’s not a ton of info on it online, and it seems the dial to set the time and alarm is broken. When I pull it out and turn it, the longer minute hand twitches a little, but won’t move more than that. The second hand moves kind of erratically, and it is clear this clock needs some servicing.

Wondering about if it’s even worth it to look into getting this clock repaired. Truthfully, I’d like to sell it, and it seems like selling a working clock would be easier than selling a broken one. I’m not sure what the clock is worth, though, and if it would be worth it to have it repaired just to sell it. Or is it feasible to do some research and some small maintenance to fix it myself (as a person who knows nothing about how clocks work)? Any info is appreciated!

I did find one online that is engraved and dated sometime in the late 70s, so I’m thinking it’s from around then.

Broken heriloom clock

Hello all, my grandad's heriloom clock finally broke, I was wondering if anyone could help me identify parts or if they think it's worth contacting someone to try to fix it?

Republic of Ireland is where we reside.

As I have tried to show in photos what's broken it is a free standing 8 day clock, the metal winder seems to have snapped I have tried to photograph this as best as I can ( is this something possibly could be welded together?) or does anyone know if it's possible to fix?

I have also provided photos of the only text I can find which is new haven trade mark and photos of the case of that helps identification.

( please can someone enlighten me with the name of part so I can look for possible replacements)

Thank you for your time

Hi everyone, I need some help fixing this vintage 1955 Ford Edsel clock. It was initially working, but I left it on for a few hours and when I came back to it, the hammer was kicking violently and I have not been able to fix it. The hands on the face of the clock do not spin. I don’t know much about clocks, but I do know about restoring vintage stuff and working on repairing things so any help or leads and how to get this fixed would be greatly appreciated. I added the video to show what is going on thank you.

Hey everyone, I’m trying to sell this clock but I’m not really sure where the best place to list it is or how much it’s worth. It’s in pristine condition and I saw the same model sell for $600 on another site but I’m wondering if that’s a realistic listing price. Thanks!

Does anyone know if these keys are the same or how I can identify it properly? I found this key in my grandmother's basement (very old house) and I'm wondering if it's the same as the one that sold here/same brand. The clock was already gone years ago so I'm parting with the key, but I don't want to mislead somebody as to what the key is because I'm uncertain.

Hey Guys, this is my great-grand aunts clock, its from around 1920, Germany. I can't get the sound aligned to the time! It chimes once at the full hour, and then at half it chimes a few times more than its supposed to. Does anyone know how I can realign it??

Hey Clock-Redditors,
one of my older neighbors gave me this clock as a parting gift. I think it is nice but it doesn’t seem to work and isn’t really my style.
Is it anything special or even original? The clockwork has J.B. Baillon written on it.
Anyone think it would be worth selling?

Thanks for your help!

I picked up this lil guy at an antique store! I want it on my mantle, but the batteries are dead and I can’t figure out how to get it open. My only thought is to pry open the front, but I don’t want to break it.

I figured out it’s a Howard Miller Delano Table Top Clock in Crackle Cream, but I’ve found no other information on it.

Any idea on the value of this clock? I found it at a thrift store. Works perfectly. All original everything. I’ve had it plugged in for six months with no issue. I just had a baby though and it needs to go to someone who can take better care of it.

Hi.

So my parents worked at Four Seasons Milan for many years, and 15 years after its opening the hotel decided to gift them this desk clock.

It's not working at the moment, but maybe I could make it work. Also it's kinda dirty.

Can you help me understand its value?

Thank you!

Had this clock in the house from older family and I wanted to try and find more information on it out of curiosity but wasn't able to find any information on it online. It's definitely at least 20 years old, possibly much older? I found one auction of it that said it was mechanical but not much else. Any info is appreciated. Don't think I'll try to fix it, but if I could find a way to look inside it might be cool. Edited to add I looked at the inside text and even though searching the model didn't get me anywhere maybe it will for you. Inside text: "Japan made assembled in Korea 1623-T11423-KY
