The rhythmic sway of a Ridgeway grandfather clock pendulum is its heartbeat, the face that greets your day provides its character, and the sweeping clock arms are both a reminder of the time of day and time that has passed. Ridgeway, which began as Gravely Furniture Company in 1926, is the oldest grandfather clock manufacturer in the United States, and all Ridgeway clocks are expertly crafted in the U.S. Simon aronson books. By American clockmakers.

A grandfather clock is traditionally passed down from one generation to the next and is traditionally a gift or purchase to mark a once-in-a-lifetime event such as a wedding, a significant achievement, or a milestone anniversary. There is a large selection of Ridgeway grandfather clocks as well as replacement parts available in the vast inventory on eBay. These clocks are made of wood such as walnut, ash, or fruitwood and range from a traditional grandfather clock design to Art Deco-inspired whitewashed pieces with lighted, etched glass curios.

Grandfather clocks feature a hand crank, door key, and three-sided beveled glass, displaying the weights, chains, and pendulum. A Ridgeway grandfather clock is a stoic, heirloom piece of furniture that is functional and beautiful and is sure to provide years of enjoyment in your home.

I stopped at a 2nd hand appliance & junk store, and to my surprise he had this once quality time piece thrown in a storage room full of junk piled up against it. The weights were hanging by white electrical cord, how classy was that. It was very dirty, full of cigarette smoke, and had been there for years. I should have taken before pictures, but I started cleaning it up right away. I was really surprised when he said I could have it for 50.00, and feeling sorry for the clock in such a place, and condition couldn't pass it up. I thoroughly cleaned the case and renewed the finish. I took the mechanism out, removed the face, and cleaned it in Carburetor cleaner to remove the sticky old oil and smoke.

It looked more like a dirty toaster oven than a clock mechanism. After cleaning I oiled and adjusted the mechanism. It looks again like a grandfather clock should, and keeps good time. The appliance store was below an old 3 story apartment building that caught fire 6 weeks after I bought the clock, and was structurally dangerous so the city tore the building down the next day. A few days later I found the little Howard Miller Mantel clock at an estate sale. Unlike the Ridgeway it was in excellent like new condition and didn't need anything, and Ingra really likes it.
