It was his grandmother’s. It has a beautiful mahogany case that is extremely well done. I wanted to post a picture but, there doesn’t seem to be a way to do that on this forum. <br />Anyway, it’s the nicest modern age grandfather clock I’ve ever seen.

After reading this I am even more interested in learning more about it! Inside the case it says “The York County” and original by Deneker Fallston Maryland. It stands about 6 foot tall from tip to bass, does not have a moon dial rather a simple globe that says Daneker in it. There is a saying in the face of the clock that says “Lord, through this hour, be thou our guide.” Would love additional information on this clock.

Purchased it late '50's early '60's. Always kept precise time and is in excellent shape. Had it maintained by E&C Clocks & Repair who offered me $500. for it in the '90's. At 84, it's time for me to sell it and let it have another good home for the years to come. Contact me with a fair offer.

That would be Harford and Cecil counties. The clocks that you can get go for a premium price, because it is a part of Bel Air and Falston, Maryland's heritage! My grandfather restored a lot of the clocks that partially survived the fire with parts he had sifting through the debris. Trust me you let people up there know you have a original Danaker, you'll drive home a happier person! Even parts go for a fortune now. While there are no longer any Danaker craftsmen alive, parts can be found. I remember as a kid my grandfathers basement was full of them. He said hold on to these, one day they'll be worth a fortune. now those parts sit in my Uncles basement in the same boxes and crates! so yes there are a lot of collectors out there for Danaker Clocks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015273128679438116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231471813309427334.post-22435748485913711222015-08-24T21:11:15.331-04:002015-08-24T21:11:15.331-04:00My grandfather was a craftsman for Danaker Clocks ...My grandfather was a craftsman for Danaker Clocks and retired from there when the business shut down. Daneker is a famous clock maker in Harford County Maryland. The old company sat off old Rt1 between Falston and Bel Air, Md. Yes Danaker did catch fire and a majority of it was lost. Mr Danaker let the employees take what ever was left at no charge. Mr Danaker, per my grandfather told me was a great boss. My family owns several of these clocks, including one of the last clocks to be made in 1969. It was actually made by him, it is not the giant size many are use to. Danaker was famous for making what now would be a midsize clock. My grandfather was one of the original workers and stayed with the Danaker's until the end. To this date his last clock, sits at my uncles and works perfect, being it was from 1969. I have one of the last things ever made at the Danaker Clock Works, it was a slow period, and when not busy Mr Danaker would let the craftsmen work on other projects to keep their skills in tact. My dresser is one of the last pieces ever to come out of Daneker. My grandfather was making it for me, as my baby gift to my mom. It sits in my son's room now, still as new condition. It has traveled the world and today not one thing is wrong with it. The craftsmen at Danaker are and were the best at their trades. I currently live in Edmond, Oklahoma. If anyone would like information about Danaker or the craftsmen, or any other worthy stories, don't hesitate. I'm very proud of his work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015273128679438116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231471813309427334.post-40131809602259443682015-05-30T14:53:02.598-04:002015-05-30T14:53:02.598-04:00I live in Edmond Ok..I wrote the article about the...I live in Edmond Ok..I wrote the article about the clock "Terry'", my parents purchased in Redwood City Ca... in the 1950's ...Maybe you can help me since we live so close..Philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231471813309427334.post-12901064674698796272015-05-30T14:33:33.971-04:002015-05-30T14:33:33.971-04:00I was browsing looking "hopefully" for ...I was browsing looking "hopefully" for parts to a Daneker "Terry" Mantle clock..My parents in Redwood City ,Ca bought theirs in th 1950'.My sister over wound it years ago.The place in San Carlos, Ca wayyyyy back wanted $500 <br />I had her ship it to me this May and it arrived without the Pendulum..I do miss the mellow chimes of years ago..PhilPhilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231471813309427334.post-45406712711378144172015-04-30T21:03:34.584-04:002015-04-30T21:03:34.584-04:00As I read this blog my mother's old Daneker is...As I read this blog my mother's old Daneker is chiming away in the background. 43 years I have listened to her chime and she never misses a beat.
