GUEST: The clock I got from my dad. He purchased it probably 50 years ago from a physician in Princeton, New Jersey. And that person said it had come probably from Boston.
APPRAISER: Well, the way you can recognize many early New England grandfather clocks is the top. The open fretwork and the finials on top almost always means it's New England, although that design is derived from the English form. Beautiful clock, few alterations. Dates about 1820, 1825, I think. Somewhere in that area. Styled after the great styles of Willard and the great formal Boston clockmakers. So, do you have a feeling for its value? Do you know where it would be there?
GUEST: Actually, I don't because it's not clear to me who would necessarily want a clock like this, especially in Albuquerque.
APPRAISER: Oh, I think a lot of people would. It's very pretty. We'd appraise it at about $18,500 for replacement purposes.
