    I am wondering if anyone can help me out with some information on this clock. I am looking for manufacturer and really just general information about the construction materials etc.

    It was my Great Grandfather's and at one point was in Holland, maybe even made there. I am not sure.

    My understanding it that it was hidden along with some other artifacts and survived the Nazi incursion.

    I am looking to do a wood treatment for it and have the chimes repaired as they no longer work. Suggestions on the wood finish would help too.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      I don't know the company name, but I know he owned or ran a large shipping company.
