Identifying and Valuing your Antique Timepiece

If you have an antique clock that is at least 100 years old, and one that you would like to learn more about, such as; is it authentic? is it all original? how old is it? who was the maker? Is it rare? what is the clock worth? These are questions that Pacific Antique Clocks can answer for you. Please call and request a valuation of your clock, we will need to discuss certain information before starting the work.

For those that are not able to personally bring their clocks to us, we are able to examine photographs of your clock, for which we will need several so as to show the important parts, then we will prepare a written report identifying its age, the possibly the maker and his working period, and the genuineness of the clock. We will identify and document as much of the clocks technical specifications as is possible given the photographs submitted.

Clocks have several values, so it is important to understand the purpose of the appraisal, is it for insurance purposes? are you planning to sell the clock and wish to know how much you might receive for it, or is the value for probate purposes? We need to know the answers to these questions so that we can provide the correct valuation for the need.
