APPRAISER
COMMENTS:
This is a vintage clock
in excellent condition. The maker is Elmer
O. Stennes of Weymouth, Massachusetts.
Stennes made a lot of 60” clocks and referred
to them as “grandmother” clocks. This
model was made in the mid-1960s. It is
one of the most popular models ever made
by Stennes. Note that due to that popularity,
this model often brings considerably more
money at auction than the appraised value.
Based on comparative data for other clocks
of this model recently sold, and considering
the similarities and differences for the
condition, size, artistic merit, and age,
we have valued the subject clock as follows:
