One clear answer

Use a free clock appraisal app to identify old clocks, maker, movement, case, condition, and whether a professional appraisal is warranted.

Auction records are market evidence, not a final appraisal. Condition, authenticity, provenance, size, material, completeness, restoration, and demand can materially change value.

Quick checklist

  • Photograph the full item, marks, maker labels, measurements, materials, construction, backs, undersides, interiors, and accessories.
  • Document condition before cleaning: fading, tears, stains, losses, cracks, missing parts, rewiring, repairs, odors, moth damage, and restoration.
  • Keep receipts, service records, provenance, appraisals, tags, boxes, weights, keys, shades, cases, or related sets together.
