So the story goes, a great grandpa or great uncle of mine had a horse and cart a hundred years or so ago on the West Side of Chicago. As payment for a moving job he did, he was given this clock. The clock was hung in his home for years. At some point it was passed down to my mother's cousin. She has since passed it down to my sister. My sister had an "expert" look at it and all he could say is that it looks all original and most likely European and from the early 1700's. There are no markings on any of the working bits.
It will hang in my sister's house until she decides who to pass it down to. We're all very curious though, where and when it's from.
The drywall screws need to be swapped out. Not sure who put them there or why. Probably my mother's cousin's husband.
