Matthew Norman Carraige Clock

Carpenter · 2009-10-01 11:39:35

Hi Wise People I am just putting this up to see what it is worth This clock was left to me in a will by my Uncle . He told me years ago it cost him a lot but never told me how much It is solid brass and for a small clock is very heavy The clock works perfect but needs a good cleaning . Thank you for any help on this :D…

Ebay says you could ask $1000 - $1500. Whether you get that is another thing.

Ebay I would say. You could try antique places here in ireland, but I doubt you'll get near the market value, they have to make a profit to so...... Plus the recession will have hit the market in ireland too. So ebay to get the international market.

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

I've only bought on ebay, so I won't be much help. I would say take plenty of good clear and bright photos. The ebay link in your first post is a good example of how to do it and what to photograph.

Maybe someone with more experience can help you or better yet look for pointers in this forum http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=583
