“Hi, Ron. My name is S and I’m writing from Quebec Canada.

My mother-in-law gave me this clock before she passed a while ago. 

I’ve been doing some research to see who would appreciate this clock and what its value is. 
I’ve been looking on sites but I don’t see this original shape. I was wondering if it would be possible to give me an idea of the value and who to sell it to. 

My reply

“Thanks for your email. I am just back from vacation and catching up on email queries, so, I apologize for the delay.

What you have is a clock made by the Pequegnat Clock Company of Kitchener, Ontario (Canada). It is a clock that is part of their well-regarded Maple Leaf series of kitchen clocks. Here is an article I wrote earlier this year describing clocks in the Maple Leaf series.

Your clock has worth and most Pequegnat clocks are sought after by collectors. It would be valued in the $200-$300 range.

Here is another article I wrote that might give you some ideas on how to sell your clock.
