Subject:  value of Waterbury Hall Clock #58

I have a Waterbury Hall Clock #58 that was purchased by my great grandfather in the late 1800s. All parts are together and it works. Slight damage to wood in a few areas, definitely reparable. What would the value of this piece be? I inherited it but it's not really my style and would like to sell to someone who would appreciate it. Thank you for your assistance.

Subject:  Antique Mantel Chime clock

how do I find the details about a mantel chime clock that had come into our family.  All I can tell it is about 15 or so wide with columns and round face clock.  Looking inside it appears to be intact with numerous brass gears.  It has ornate metal legs at each corner.  I see a dealer is selling replicas for nearly a thousand dollars.  I do have a photo of it if I can email that to you.  As best as I can read in the faded paper attached to the back is Rockford Illinois but that is all I can read
