Longcase Grandfather Clock ?

[suicra05]

I have asked to buy a longcase Grand father clock from a friend. It looks in good condition. It is made by James Stewart & Sons. How can I find out what the value of this clock would be? I am based in the Dublin area.

Could the co help ?

or an antique dealer who might value for a fee?

Are you buying it to help him out?

it might be better to lend him the money than to buy the clock, unless you particularly want the clock.

If you want a clock, that might not be the right one for you.

I asked a friend of mine who knows about clocks and he told me:

"

Generally, prices for antique furniture are low at the moment and "average" grandfather clocks sell for 1-2K at auction​

A good clock is worth more and a faked up clock is worth less.

If he is investing a lot of money, he should get someone to look at the unit and give an appraisal."
