The info. on the back of the clock says Haddon Products, Chicago, IL  It's called "The Gable #45. " It's a dark colored imitation wood, I think or laminate. 

The instructions indicate it has movement #36 with "imported Westminster rod chime movement".  It's a really dark wood (mahogany??).  It has 4 rounded cross decorations on the wood at the top of the case.  The top of the case is rounded too, Looks very church-like or gothic.   Each side of the case has a square cut-out with a design and a piece of stretchy fabric on the inside of it.  Sorry I am not good at e-mailing photos but, if it would really help, I could try.  Thanks.

This painting was found in my grandmothers home. Kept by my mother for years. Is anyone familiar with the artist. It is a marsh landscape.

this dressing table has beveled glass and the sides og the glass mounting has multi colored wood inlay. it has a shelf in the middle under the mirror with a small drawer at each end. all of the drawers are made with hand made dove tails. the bottom drawer panels are hand planed on the edges where they slide into the drawer sides. It sits on metal castors with a square metal plate above the castor wheel and the dresser leg. the drawer pulls were not the originals.
