This clock was in a case that was built by George Gill Knox, 1791-1872, a cabinet maker in Vevay, IN. or his father, a Revolutionary War soldier, Robert Knox, 1758 - 1836. It is mounted on the wall so I can't see the back, but there is a card in it that says
No 6

Be very careful is selling or buying clocks at an Auction House!
For those of you who have thought of selling or buying an antique clock from an auction house beware. I was heartbroken to see what had happened to clocks that I had spent some thirty years collecting and perfecting their restoration and performance.
In reviewing the posted photos on their website I had seen so much damage that was done to the clocks which included broken carvings, bent and or missing linkage along some damage to the mechanical music functions. I had to contact the auction house though out the auction process as to issues with the clocks damage and descriptions inaccuracy’s.
I will do all future sales though eBay or directly with the buyer in which I will have the clocks professionally packed though the UPS store and pass along the exact cost to the buyer. As just one example Fontains auction house charges 10% to the selle…

First sorry to here about your clocks - it also happens on eBay , I started back up doing Vienna's and Black Forest along with Grandfather clocks, I can tell you horror stories of the damage on my clocks that I bought off eBay
I haven't replied on here as I haven't seen current posts when I signed up
This showed up in my email and thought I would reply
I started my New website in the past year and very happy to have done so , I'm a NAWCC member , and joining other groups

I got a few from Auction houses a friend in Texas buys for me, soon to find out all the weights and such missing from all the lots were put in milk crates and auctioned off later, we assumed they were missing like many are - by the time we caught on to this new auction house the original parts we were missing got sold off - Weights and Pendulums for Cuckoo's and Vienna's { I did , well, was able to get a hold of a few of those crates , 6 Priority large mail boxes at about 70 pounds each - my friend located the buyer on chance when at the auction house😀
So I very much get what your saying and it breaks my heart as well, I love my clocks and doing restorations, it took 25 years to be free of my ex and a few years to start over with nothing and now doing well once again , so my friend I have seen it all, this is nothing new , but nice to see people on here
I got to add this UPS ships a lot of heavy boxes and I have had a lot of issues with incoming boxes and do not use them sometimes I have no choice on boxes coming in from eBay , me, I pack professionally anyways and I use Fed ex on all my clocks leaving my business , nothing ever late or missing like UPS, its is unsettling having to fight with UPS as to were a Huge Vienna Regulator has gone missing, more then once was enough for me , my stuff coming from overseas DHL - eBay and Fed ex have not let me down, the postal service is another rotten issue, they are rotten on the Space Coast - now with the tariff's it is getting more costly a carving chisel , rare , needing restoration came VIA Fed ex fast and fine, but I got a bill from Fed ex for $7.70 { Trumps New Customs import fee }on a $15 dollar item shipping alone was $25.00 from Japan , so my friends pick your poison things are bad all over - I'll leave it at that

Very early documented wood wheel clock with glass bells
Very rare glass bell clock with a paper front dial face.hard to believe that this one has lasted so long in such great condition 👍🏻 clock is from 1780 which makes it 245 years old 😳

The clock is a relatively new clock so there should be a manufacturers logo stamped on the clock movement. If you remove the back cover you can take a photo of the movement and post it to the group.
