I loved reading this, Ruth—What history! Beautifully written and the clock is WOW! I’m sure its story will continue for another hundred years and beyond.
Glad I got to see this historic clock and now hear the story behind it. How great to dust off your memories of family stories because of the clock. It's absolutely beautiful and I love how you have rediscovered it and explored new details. I hope you find someone in the family to bequeath it to, but if not, maybe some historical group or museum would give it a good home for centuries to come.
How in the neck did they get it out of Germany??? How did it get to Berkeley??? You've got to research that and tell us more!

Thanks for reading and commenting, Jolene! It was a slight departure from food writing but fun to go off track once in a while. 🥰

Thanks so much, Patricia! I hope so too—and I’m honored that you and Chris were the first to see it back in ticking order!💕
Wow - what an amazing story! I'm so glad to hear the clock is ticking again. May it have many more years ahead!
Thanks, Jeanne! 💕 I hope it does too!
Great piece. You should do more like it.
Thanks, Jeff!
What wonderful memories for you to have and to share.
Thanks, Leslie! I so appreciate your comment!😘
