I’m glad that you stumbled upon the post about your grandmother and her clock by my colleague Frances McVay. Your grandmother sounds like quite an individual.

The clock was donated to us by an individual who says he purchased it from a member of your grandmother’s family. We’re very pleased to have the clock among our collection and to share it with visitors from around the state and, really, the world. Even if it was an item that we wanted to sell (and it’s not), we’re prohibited from doing so by state regulations.

Come and visit the North Carolina Collection Gallery. If you let us know in advance, we’ll make sure that we have the clock ready for you to view.

John

She was an incredible person/grandmother/role model.Would there be any opportunity to obtain the clock for the family for a donation?
Thanks for any consideration related to this.
