Hi all, thanks for having me on the website!
I inherited a HAC clock about ten years ago, from my grand-parents via my parents. I remember it well on their wall when I was a child in the early 1960's. It strikes on the hour and half hour and has a separate wind (the left hand one) for the strike, and loses about 5 mins a day!
Other than that, I have no information, but would be grateful if someone could date it for me, and maybe give me a rough idea of worth? I'm not looking to sell as it will go to my daughter eventually, but I'm interested in it's history and value, or initial cost.
It has a brass HAC & the arrows label inside the case, on the bottom, and is stamped on the top with gold numbers/letters, a few of which are illegible, but I can make out 1078 which (from what I've gleaned so far) may be the model number?
I have attached pictures and would be happy to take more if required.
Thanks for any help.
Karen
