Expert: Harold Williamson - 9/9/2009


Question
I was wanting to find out the value of my late mother's grandfather clock.  It is about 35 years old and has two names on front of it.  Tempus fugit and Ethan Allen, and it was made in East Germany.  there is nowhere on this question board to attach a picture so if you send me an email I can send it to you.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve.


Answer
Tempus Fugit is latin for "time flies".  The case was made in the USA and the movement was made in Fermany.  I am not a certified appraiser but you could come close looking on ebay.  Sorry I couldnt be more help
