Hi Msumm1969. Thanks for sharing your family heirloom with us.
I think that unless someone recognizes the general shape of your clock's case, you're going to have to give us a little more to go on.
In order to help identify your clock, please provide the following:
Any and all information printed, stamped or labeled on the dial, movement, case, pendulum and key. This includes names, trademarks, serial/model/patent numbers and dates. I know that you said you can't find any markings. Look carefully with a good flashlight.
How often does it need to be re-wound? Every day (30-hour) Every week (8-day) etc...
Measurements of the dial and case. Please take measurements at the longest, widest, and deepest points only.
Well lit photos of the entire case, with close-ups of the dial, movement and any distinctive decorative feature(s) or labels. Your photos are very poorly focused and "hazy". We can't really see much.
Any detailed provenance information. You say your grandfather was a true clock collector. Do you know where he got this particular clock from and when?
This information might be very helpful, but it still may not lead to a definitive model or date.
Thanks
