My grandparents had the exact same one! I think my aunt may have it now. Such a simple thing with so many memories attached

I have a similar one, probably a bit older though. I got it from an auction and had to clean it up a bit and replace the bellows leather. As clocks go it has no redeeming features at all, it's a bit broken, the time is hard to read, it needs winding every day and has an ear splitting Cuckoo even though I also have four other chiming clocks nearby. Having said all that, it's an integral part of the household and we love it.
It's funny even though these are not 'good clocks' by any means they do a great job, especially if they bring back memories and connect us to the past.
