Hi ~
Wondering if there's a clock expert in our midst and if he/she can give me some info on this one:

Might take awhile for photos to download because they're large...but worth the wait.
I am mainly wondering if there's a market for such clocks (not in working order), or if they're repairable and where I would take it to be fixed.

Beautiful clock. Any clock can be repaired. The trick is finding someone locally who can do it. I would suggest contacting a furniture store that sells grandfather clocks. If they don't have someone on staff who repairs them, they will know of someone who does. Many collectors will overlook the fact that it is not working because they are capable of repairing them themselves. It would display much better if it had hands, though.
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.

the clock is beautiful. you might also ask at an established jewelry store. they quite often repair clocks, they do in my area anyway.
it seems to be in good condition otherwise, these usually have chips on the finish.

I'd list it as-is. I've had several clocks that sold quite well in that condition. There are many clock collectors/repairpersons that watch eBay for just such items.
It's a beautiful clock, and if the face is any indication of the condition, it should be easily repairable for a knowledgeable clock man.

BEE-U-T-FUL!!!! If it were mine (and it might be sooon, wink), I would sell As IS.
Old clocks are fragile and do not always ship well. If you put out the cash for repairs and then ship and buyer claims it doesn't work, you will be out another repair bill.
The lines and style of this clock are so wonderful, it should sell well ASIS.
