1 of 2 Inherited 2 old grandfather clocks & looking for info please

[Elliott]

Hi all,

1 of 2

New user looking for info and thank you in advance. I inherited 2 old grandfather clocks from my parents. They purchased both from an old clock dealer in 1970 and paid a good bit in the 70s for them. May not be anything special but curious as to what we have now. Both are in excellent working order to this day and have no missing pieces. I split these into two posts to separate the pictures.

Welcome to the forum.

The 'M over S' trademark is that of Müller & Schlenker, a German movement maker.

The trademark was registered in 1919:

Like your other clock, I feel this one is a quality mechanical clock.
It maybe does not have all of the bells and whistles of modern, expensive clocks but it is a utilitarian piece.
Like the other clock, it will have a rather loud and very pleasant tone.
The clock was made to last a long time and should be a treasure.
The clock can be a constant memory of the previous owners.
Best,
Dick
