Does the movement offer any information? Not a lot to go on here other then that is an awesome antique looking original untouched, unsigned dial. My guess it's from the 1860's to the 1870's era.?

Unfortunately, values on large clocks like this are way down. Seems we're in a period when most folks don't care about the nostalgia of a finely crafted clock. ...Heck, they don't even care about finely crafted anything!

Got some elderly friends down south that retired for the 2nd time some years ago. They've collected over a dozen stunning clocks; mostly Grandfather type. They have ended up giving some away as special gifts, rather than selling them at such a disgraceful price. ...I guess a lot also depends on the area.

I just join this forum last night I will add more pictures it was serviced in 1977 at a hundred years old so yes it is somewhere in the 1870 range I will post more pictures if I can figure out how

I don't like to comment off the hip and I don't know much about old clocks but I believe that face is early 1800's versus late 1800's.

So here are some other photos of the clock I can't seem to manipulate them. The contents of the home that we bought are from the New England area can anyone tell me the maker and the value of this clock I know that in 1977 it was serviced and it was over a hundred years old

Probably brass works yes? Try to take clear pics of the movement and post. Then I may be able to help. Regards. Bob

Usually cropping the pics after rotating them will work on vBulletin platforms. Give it a shot. I'm just over here drooling at that clock!!

 

[heritage1991]

Do you know its value

 

[Fullstock]

It appears (based on the castle on the face) to be English. A decent running English tall clock was bringing between $1,000.00 and $2,500.00 give or take. Not sure what they're worth now.

Any idea how long ago this was?

 

[Bgmeanie]

Without clear pics of the movement it is worth nothing. Guessing is just that- guessing

 

[heritage1991]

[heritage1991]

Here is a link to help you date the clock. You're in a better position than us to do that. An accurate age would help with the value, maybe, I would think. Towards the bottom of the page it gets closer to your period of clock. How to Date Your Grandfather Clock
