My mother was at her friend Connie's house and noticed it on her shelf and just told her that she liked it, and Connie told her to take it home, that she could have it.
And it's-- she put it on the shelf at home and it was there for the next 50 years.
APPRAISER: Wow.
That-that's a very nice present.
What you have is a Tiffany Studios clock.
It's in the bookmark pattern.
It has, uh, printer's marks from the 15th and 16th century, and they're on the top here.
And there are a couple of things that are unusual about it.
First of all, it's been coal-painted.
And sometimes the clock would come just with the gold finish.
And once in a while it would come this way with this beautiful painting and it really makes the piece pop.
The other thing that I love about this, it has its original key that is nestled inside the door.
And this also has the printers' marks on it.
And that's fantastic.
I looked it up.
I wanted to see what this cost initially, which was probably, in the teens, it cost $70.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: That was a tremendous amount of money for a clock.
It was part of a whole desk set and you could buy up to 21 pieces.
But to me, the clock was the crème de la crème.
It's just gorgeous.
It's really-- when you took it out, my eyes went boom!
(chuckles) I was very excited.
Uh, in a retail shop today, this would cost between $6,000 and $8,000.
GUEST: (gasps) Oh my God, that's much more than I thought it would be.
That's huge.
(quietly): Wow.
APPRAISER: It's a great present.
GUEST (chuckling): Amazing.
