United Clock Corporation Mini-Grandfather Clock

Description

Photo functioning is not working. 

This clock had a lot of character and the price was great so I bought it.  I have not done any restoration to it so it is in the exact condition that I bought it in.  There is only one decent scratch on one side about 1.5" long that has a little branch off of it about .5" long.  It still has the original cord and it works perfectly.

If in working condition, they go for about $200.00 at auction. They tend to be imports made during the 1920's to mid 30's.

I too have this exact same clock which I picked up at ayard sale a long time ago. Am considering whether to liquidate it along with other "collectibles" or not. So my question is, should I continue to hang on to it,in hopes it may be worth something someday, or let it go?

There is not much information on the United Clock Company. At one time it merged with or bought out the Sessions Clock Co. of Forestville, CT, as some of their clocks are marked "Sessions-United." United made clocks in a huge variety of styles, including some similar to those made by Mastercrafters Clock & Radio Corp. of Chicago. Their clocks were low end pieces, often used as Carnival prizes. I have not seen any sell for over $200.00 in quite a while.  Here is a link with information :
