Title: Howard Miller model# 610 110 grandfather clock
Post by: wildkat68 on January 15, 2009, 10:56:57 PM: I have recently inherited a grandfather clock from my fathers estate and when looking at the back of it there is a sticker that says it is made by the Howard Miller Clock Company it is Model # 610 110 it also says it is a #577 triple chime?? I have searched for hours on the internet for a value on this clock and have found every model # BUT this one?? Does anyone know what the value of this clock is? It is in very nice condition but other than that I dont know much about it ???

Sorry I didnt have pics at the time it is kind of buried in my garage with the rest of my dads stuff .. I took the best pics I could in the tight space it is in..

Sight unseen, FYI please, please read the information at this site about Grandfather Clock repair and Usage. It specifically talks about Howard Miller Clocks and how they are different from other clocks pertaining to the weights. You may already know all this...but just in case.

We wait the picture!!

Post by: D&b antiques on January 16, 2009, 12:17:57 PM: Ok Guy's I know I'am getting old but... Howard miller does not show a model number.#610- 110 which again supports my belief it's and early model.

Or a wrong model Number?

B&d...I totally agree about the model number.

Wildkat68 can you post a pic of the model#? or better, HM started in 1920's and is still in business.
HM has a website and you can verify your model # with them but I doubt they can give you a $$$value.

Post by: wildkat68 on January 20, 2009, 10:09:31 PM: I added pics does anyone have an idea about why I cant find anything on this model number now? I know the pics arent the greatest but it is packed in my garage with my dads belongings I can move it out and try to take better pics if need be but you kind of get the idea from the pics I got I think..

Post by: KC on January 21, 2009, 12:49:46 AM: One more question, is there a date anywhere on the information? On the clock? (You should really try and contact the HM company to determine the date of manufacture if there isn't one in your paperwork or on your clock!)

Post by: wildkat68 on January 22, 2009, 11:39:40 PM: the rev. # in the lower left hand corner says 5/77 does this mean it was made in 1977?

Post by: cogar on January 23, 2009, 05:00:17 AM: If it is a rev. #, then 'yes' or later, ... 78, 79, etc. That rev. # is important if you ever need "replacement parts".
