Featured There's Always Time for a Beautiful Granddaughter

This is an E. Howard "granddaughter" clock from Boston MA; I'm thinking about 1880. I'd say it's maybe 5 feet (U.S.) tall, faced in walnut. The "ship" and its wave just above the dial move back and forth with each tick.

In this case "granddaughter" is a colloquial term. I'm told that clock people don't recognize it, and that the clock is better referred to as a floor standing case clock, or some such, you get the idea!

Anyway, I'm calling on you amazing searchers again. Can you find another, perhaps with more information?

Thanks as always!

 

I found this one, which is referred to as a 'Grandmother clock'. They think it is turn of the century (19th-20th):

The granddaughter takes after her grandmother, not only the pretty looks but also the size.

 

That’s the one! Good work AJ!!
Nice price, too. Way over the top, but nice!

 

I've heard many times how expensive the prices are on 1st Dibs.

 

That is just abour the right size for me being petite.

 

I didn’t know you were so cute….

It’s great to think that I got an incredible deal. But sadly I think that $5K at most is more realistic.

Grandmother, granddaughter, since neither of these are “accepted” by horologists then I figure we’re free to use them rather loosely!

 

How about calling her a not-so-tall case clock?

 

Aw shucks @Ghopper1924 Thanks

 

When my mother retired in The early 80s, she was given a "grandmother" clock. It was new but smaller than a grandfather clock. My sister has it now. Don't Remember exactly but I think it was taller than 5 feet but smaller than the big guy.
