Great (x5) Grandfather Clock

February 8, 2009

I hope to get some better pictures of this some day when the light is better and I can spend more time setting up the shot. But until then, here’s my great great great great great (I lose track of the “greats”) grandfather’s clock. It is passed to the first male grandchild, so Sierra’s first boy will get this someday.

It’s been through a lot. I don’t know all of the back story – it’s written down inside the clock – but I do know the first owner was blind, which is why the numbers are all worn away. He would wind it daily and read the time with his hands.

Someday, I’ll get it fixed. Until then, it’s an amazing heirloom.
