APPRAISER: It's so nice to have a picture of a clock in its original setting.
Really places it timewise.
GUEST: My aunt and uncle told me that, that it had been in the family since the 1800s.
APPRAISER: Do you know about its origin at all or where it came from?
GUEST: I do not.
APPRAISER: Okay.
Do you know who made it?
GUEST: No, never had it appraised at all.
APPRAISER: Okay, well this is a figural clock, and it was made by the Ansonia Clock Company in New York.
And it really was made to sort of be less expensive than a French clock, but it's still a beautiful thing.
It's one of these clocks that's worth fixing because it'll be a good timekeeper for years to come.
So it's worth putting money into the movement and having it restored.
I can see that the movement is-is a little bit, uh, grungy or dirty.
Hasn't been attended to in a long time.
(chuckles) So, so it might be time to get that done.
A clock like this, in a retail situation would probably be priced anywhere from, oh, $550 to $850.
Um, and you got to know that the market's down right now.
It used to be more valuable, and I'm sure it will come back, but right now, these figural clocks are a harder sell to younger generations.
