Wood frame. Not sure if it works. Some rubbing damage to frame and clock face shows aging. Does this clock have value?

You only give approximate measurements of the dial, not the case, which you don't show in it's entirety. Also, you don't know if it works. As you probably well know, an antique or vintage clock in good running order has much more value to collectors than one in questionable condition.

That's as close as I could find to what you've shown in the single photo you've posted. Not to imply that your clock would sell for as much as this one did back in 2005, but to demonstrate there are collectors out there who value these types of clocks.
Whatever your plans for it, good luck.
Thank you Bruce99. I do not know much about these things. Just cleaning out my basement and wondering if I should give it to charity or try to restore it.
I wish I could be more help to you. I don't collect these types of clocks, and I don't see this one in my references so I don't know what their typical market value is. It's a nice clock but I can see where it might dominate a wall in a home though.
Perhaps another collector here will see your post and give you more to go on.
Regards,
Bruce
thank you!
