After China opened to Western trade in the 1970s, many old and legitimate bracket clocks were imported to the US. By the late 1980s they had simply run out of the old ones and so started making new ones that looked old. An importer in Ohio was responsible for bringing most of these to America. A legitimate antique model like this is worth around 2000 dollars, but these repros bring around 4 to 5 hundred. This is only one of several models still being made in China ,to look old and deceive the buyer. Although modern, this is a good looking clock. Height 20.5 inches
