Grandmother or granddaughter

Grandmother and granddaughter clocks are smaller versions of the grandfather clock. The grandmother clock stands between five and six feet tall, and appears much slimmer than a grandfather clock. It was first produced in the 1920s. The granddaughter clock is much shorter than either the grandmother or the grandfather clock, with heights between three and five feet. The granddaughter clock was not produced until the 1930s. This style was generally constructed from inexpensive woods or veneers on plywood. The name "grandfather clock" was not applied to longcase clocks until 1875, when Henry Clay Work composed a popular song--"My Grandfather's Clock"--in tribute to a longcase clock standing in the George Hotel in North Yorkshire, England. The clock supposedly stopped and never ran again when the grandfather of the innkeeper died. All three terms are auctioneers' terms. They are all more correctly just called longcase clocks. This is one I have just restored. I previously described it as 'barn fresh' and it was a gamble to work on as I was unsure it could be resurrected. Fortunately it is going well so the gamble paid off.
