Hello, this little clock belonged to my husbands family. I just had it repaired and cleaned and runs like a champ. I'm giving it back to my husband fixed as a birthday gift and was hoping you could tell me the year of this clock and it's worth.
Thank you
1930's and similar ones on Ebay have sold around 30-60 dollars lately
here's an example

"Ridgeway" model, Duotone Chimes
Thank you very much for your help. We will be handing down this clock to our next generation.
You're very welcome, Family Heirlooms are priceless in their on right, to know the history and being passed from generation to the next, with love is again...."Priceless"
Condition is an extremely important determinant as far as market value goes. Since you've taken such good care of your Family Heirloom, I would say that your clock is worth more than a barely running example.
Probably not as much more as the cost to professionally clean and service it, but as Kerry says, an heirloom has a lot of intangible value and there something about have a generations old clock ticking and striking away in your home.
My sources have this general model line of Tambour Mantel Clocks with Duo-tone strike also at circa 1925-1930 but it may also be the "Roanoke". The two models are very similar.
I would tend to agree with Kerry. It appears as though you have a Ridgeway. The Roanoke is shown on eBay with raised bronze numerals and there's a little difference in style/ornamentation on the case.
